The Day of Pentecost May 31, 2020 10 a.m. Morning Prayer Rite II
Welcome to Calvary

                         Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever joys
                         or burdens you carry, you are welcome at Calvary Episcopal
                         Church. And we are honored that you’ve chosen to say your
                         prayers with us.
                         Calvary is an eclectic bunch of Christian people. We don’t
                         all think the same thoughts, or dress the same way, or vote
                         for the same candidates, or even believe all the same things
                         about the mystery of God and what it means to be human.
                         But, with St. Paul, we believe we need each other because
                         of our differences, not in spite of them. God calls us out of
                         estrangement into unity, not uniformity. A body made up of
                         identical members can’t do much work in the world. Thumbs
                         are so much more useful with fingers to push against, are
                         they not?
                         So, I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all
                         that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just for
                         today, but maybe for the rest of your days. We are a fuller
                         expression of Christ’s body because of your presence. And
                         has our world ever been more needful of Christ’s reconciling,
                         loving, and merciful body than now?

                         The Rev. Scott Walters
                         Rector

I invite you to join in the life of this congregation with all
that you are, in all your splendid uniqueness, maybe just
for today, but maybe for the rest of your days.

Create an atmosphere of quiet reverence before worship.
               Let go of distractions and let the silence and music be gifts as we create sacred space.

PSALM 104:25-35, 37, read responsively by whole verse
    25 O LORD, how manifold are your works! *
        in wisdom you have made them all;
        the earth is full of your creatures.
    26 Yonder is the great and wide sea
        with its living things too many to number, *
        creatures both small and great.
    27 There move the ships,
        and there is that Leviathan, *
        which you have made for the sport of it.
    28 All of them look to you *
        to give them their food in due season.
    29 You give it to them; they gather it; *
        you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.

                                                                                                                  3
30 You hide your face, and they are terrified; *
        you take away their breath,
        and they die and return to their dust.
    31 You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; *
        and so you renew the face of the earth.
    32 May the glory of the LORD endure for ever; *
        may the LORD rejoice in all his works.
    33 He looks at the earth and it trembles; *
        he touches the mountains and they smoke.
    34 I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; *
        I will praise my God while I have my being.
    35 May these words of mine please him; *
        I will rejoice in the LORD.
    37 Bless the LORD, O my soul. *
        Hallelujah!

  Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
		   as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

                                          THE LESSONS
THE FIRST LESSON                                                                       Numbers 11:24-30
    Moses went out and told the people the words of the LORD; and he gathered seventy elders of the
    people, and placed them all around the tent. Then the LORD came down in the cloud and spoke to
    him, and took some of the spirit that was on him and put it on the seventy elders; and when the spirit
    rested upon them, they prophesied. But they did not do so again. Two men remained in the camp, one
    named Eldad, and the other named Medad, and the spirit rested on them; they were among those
    registered, but they had not gone out to the tent, and so they prophesied in the camp. And a young
    man ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” And Joshua son of Nun,
    the assistant of Moses, one of his chosen men, said, “My lord Moses, stop them!” But Moses said
    to him, “Are you jealous for my sake? Would that all the LORD’s people were prophets, and that the
    LORD would put his spirit on them!” And Moses and the elders of Israel returned to the camp.

   		The Word of the Lord.
People		 Thanks be to God.

THE SECOND LESSON                                                                               Acts 2:1-21
   When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly
   from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where
   they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of
   them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit
   gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem.
   And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking
   in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are
   speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians,
   Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia
   and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews
   and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds
   of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others
   sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice
   and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen
   to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning.
   No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: `In the last days it will be, God declares, that
   I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your
   young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men
   and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents
   in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be
   turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.
   Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ “

    On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone
    who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of
    the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’” Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers
    in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

       He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
         and born of the Virgin Mary.
       He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
         was crucified, died, and was buried.
       He descended to the dead.
       On the third day he rose again.
       He ascended into heaven,
         and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
       He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

    Listen, sweet dove unto my song, and spread thy golden wings in me; hatching my tender heart so
    long, till it get wing and flie away with thee. Such glorious gifts thou didst betstow that the earth did
    like a heav’n appeare; the starres were coming down to know if they might mend their wages and
    serve here. The sunne which once did shine alone, hung down his head and wisht for night, when he
    beheld twelve sunnes for one going about the world and giving light. Lord, though we change, thou
    art the same, the same sweet God of love and light. Restore this day for thy great name, unto his
    ancient and miraculous right. (George Herbert)
