Windsor Heights Lutheran Church
Day of Pentecost
Sunday, June 5 ~ 9:30 a.m.
On Pentecost, we celebrate that we have been given an Advocate to accompany us. Poured out
in wind and fire, water, wine, and bread, the Holy Spirit abides in and among us. We give
thanks that God speaks to each of us, no matter our origins, language, or life path. Filled with
the Spirit of truth, we go out from worship to proclaim the saving power of Christ’s love and
the freedom of God’s grace with all the world.

Welcome and Announcements
Thanksgiving for Baptism
All may make the sign of the cross, the sign that is marked at baptism, as the
presiding minister begins.
Alleluia! Christ is risen.
Christ is risen indeed. Alleluia!
In the waters of baptism,
we have passed over from death to life with Jesus Christ,
and we are a new creation.
For this saving mystery, and for this water, let us bless God,
who was, who is, and who is to come.
We thank you, God, for your river of life,
flowing freely from your throne:
through the earth,
through the city,
through every living thing.
You rescued Noah and his family from the flood;
You opened wide the sea for the Israelites.
Now in these waters you flood us with mercy,
and our sin is drowned forever.
You open the gate of righteousness
and we pass safely through.
In Jesus Christ, you calm and trouble the waters.
You nourish us and enclose us in safety.
You call us forth and send us out.
In lush and barren places, you are with us.
You have become our salvation.
Now breathe upon this water
and awaken your church once more.
Claim us again as your beloved and holy people.
Quench our thirst; cleanse our hearts; wipe away
every tear.
To you, our Beginning and our End,
our Shepherd and Lamb,
be honor, glory, praise, and thanksgiving,
now and forever. Amen.

– WORD –
First Reading Acts 2:1-21 Bible page 144 (NT)
Word of God, word of life. Thanks be to God.
Psalm Psalm 104:24-34, 35b
24 How manifold are your works, O LORD!
In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
25Yonder is the sea, great and wide, with its swarms too many to number,
living things both small and great.
26There go the ships to and fro,
and Leviathan, which you made for the sport of it.
27All of them look to you
to give them their food in due season.
28You give it to them; they gather it;
you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.
29When you hide your face, they are terrified;
when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust.
30You send forth your Spirit, and they are created;
and so you renew the face of the earth.
31May the glory of the LORD endure forever;
O LORD, rejoice in all your works.
32You look at the earth and it trembles;
you touch the mountains and they smoke.
33I will sing to the LORD as long as I live;
I will praise my God while I have my being.
34May these words of mine please God.
I will rejoice in the LORD.
35bBless the LORD, O my soul.
Hallelujah!
Second Reading Romans 8:14-17 Bible page 192 (NT)
Word of God, word of life. Thanks be to God.

Sacrament of Holy Baptism
Apostles' Creed
Do you believe in God the Father?
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
Do you believe in God the Son?
I believe in Jesus Christ, God's only Son, our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the virgin Mary,
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,
he is seated at the right hand of the Father,
and he will come to judge the living and the dead.
Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
(Congregation is seated)
