O Comforter and Friend
How we need Your touch again
Holy Spirit rain down rain down

Let the presence of the risen Lord
Come renew my heart and make me whole
Cause Your word to come alive in me
Give me faith for what I cannot see
Give me passion for Your purity
Holy Spirit breathe new life in me
Holy Spirit come abide within
May Your joy be seen in all I do
Love enough to cover ev'ry sin
In each thought and deed and attitude
Kindness to the greatest and the least
Gentleness that sows the path of peace
Turn my strivings into works of grace
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do
Holy Spirit from creation's birth
Giving life to all that God has made
Show Your power once again on earth
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your

The Collect for the Persecuted Church
O Lord God, whose Son Jesus Christ suffered and died for us and in
His resurrection restores life and peace to all creation; O Lord God,
our Redeemer, Defender, Protector, and Avenger, we pray for Your
people who are victims of violence and hatred and are oppressed
and injured by their fellow humans. Give strength and encourage-
ment to them by Your Holy Spirit. Look upon them and help us to
honor in our hearts those who have died and are suffering in Your
service. Comfort their families and give them courage. Thwart the
oppressors and call them to repentance, but if they will not repent,
we commit them to Your justice. All this we pray through the same,
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed
abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gos-

our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy
Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

The Psalm: Psalm 104
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. (Antiphon) 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. 30 You hide your face, and they are terrified;
you take away their breath,
and they die and return to their dust. (Antiphon) 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 forever;
may the Lord rejoice in all his works. (Antiphon)

Feast of Pentecost
PICNIC TODAY: Directions from church: turn right on Valley, turn left on
Harshman. Turn right into Eastwood Lake Metro Park at the first light
after the lights for Route 4. Follow the drive all the way to the end where
there is a big parking lot. The Mad River shelter is closest to the parking
lot and the river.
Hope4 Riverside Our parish is working together with a group of pastors and City of River-
side officials to do some joint projects which we believe will make a
difference in our surrounding community. It is exciting to see all these
churches come together for a common goal! The first joint project will be
a school supply collection in which all the churches in Riverside will partic-
ipate. Final collection day will be July 26, and the actual distribution will
be made by the Mad River School personnel. Bring your school supply
contributions and place them in the box at the back of the church. We
will be collecting from now until Sunday, July 26.
In coming months, we will also be participating in collection of hats,
gloves, and mittens (October) and socks (March). This is an outstanding
way of sharing and spreading the love of Christ to our neighbors, and a
great opportunity to show Christian unity.
Home Group A Home Group is starting! Once a month, a home group will be held at
one of four host homes. All are welcome to join in for a dinner, devotion,
and fellowship evening. The first group will be held on Friday, June 19 at

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally
begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God
from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father;
through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he
came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and
the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified
under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the
third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he as-
cended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his
kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who pro-
ceeds from the Father [and the Son], who with the Father and the
Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the proph-
ets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We
acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for
the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen. The filioque [and the Son] is not in the original Greek text. Nevertheless, in the Western Church the filioque
[and the Son] is customary at worship and is used for the explication of doctrine [39 Articles of Religion].
The operative resolution of the College of Bishops concerning use of the filioque is printed with the Gen-
eral Instructions at the end of the Holy Communion, Long Form.
The Prayers of the People
Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church and the world.
Almighty and ever-living God, in your holy Word you have taught
us to offer prayers and requests, and to give thanks for all whom
you have made. We appeal to your mercy, Gracious Lord, that you
might hear our prayer.
Reader. Lord, in your mercy,
People. hear our prayer.

Inspire your universal Church by your Spirit, granting that all who

gan Bishop, that by their life and teaching, they may proclaim your
true and life-giving Word, and rightly administer your holy Sacra-
ments.

People. hear our prayer.
Help us to fulfill your great commission; making disciples of all na-

Reader. Lord, in your mercy,
People. hear our prayer.
We ask you to rule the hearts of all who govern us, (our President,
the Congress, the Supreme Court, our Governor and our military
leaders) . May they administer justice, govern wisely, and strive for
the welfare and peace of the whole world.
Reader. Lord, in your mercy,
People. hear our prayer.
Grant your heavenly grace to all people, especially these gathered
here, that with meek and reverent hearts, we may hear and trust
your holy Word, devoting our lives to your righteous service.
Reader. Lord, in your mercy,
People. hear our prayer.
We humbly ask you, gracious Lord, to comfort and strengthen all
those who, in this earthly life are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness,
or any other adversity.
23
Prayer for the Sick
O Lord, who feels the pain of the world, and looks upon all sick and suffer-
ing persons with pity and mercy, enfolding them with thy love; grant that
in the midst of pain they may find thy presence; to doctors and nurses
grant tender hearts and healing hands; and give health again in body and
soul, for thy tender mercy’s sake. Amen.

Reader. Lord, in your mercy,
People. hear our prayer.
We bless your holy Name for all your servants who departed this
life in your faith and fear, praying you would grant us grace to fol-
low their good examples, that with them we might partake in your
heavenly kingdom.
Reader. Lord, in your mercy,
People. hear our prayer.
Grant these our prayers, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake,
our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen. The Confession and Absolution of Sin
We pray to you also for the forgiveness of our sins.
The Deacon and People kneel as able and pray
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word and deed, by what we have done, and by what we
have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we
have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and
we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mer-
cy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk
in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
The Bishop or Priest stands and says
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has
promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repent and
with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, pardon and
deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all
goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.

Congregational Offertory
And He Shall Reign
You were raised with power, ascended on high.
You were given power and authority supreme.
You have given power to us that we might know you.
You have conquered all the enemies that face us
And have claimed your throne as ruler of the nations.
We believe your word and heartily agree.
Let your kingdom come, beginning with me.
We have come from every nation now;
With a new song we will sing.
When the seventh angel sounds aloud,
You will hear our voices ring.
The kingdom of this world is become, is become
The kingdom of our Lord, the kingdom of our Lord,
The kingdom of Christ
And He shall reign, (and He shall reign)
And He shall reign, (and He shall reign)
And He shall reign forever and ever! Words and Music by Jamie Soles. All rights reserved. Used by permission.

Heavenly Father, we thank you for feeding us with the spiritual
food of the most precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior
Jesus Christ; and for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are
living members of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal
kingdom. And now, Father, send us out into the world to do the
work you have given us to do, to love and serve you as faithful wit-
nesses of Christ our Lord. To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be
honor and glory, now and forever. Amen.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to

Through Jesus Christ our Lord; according to whose most true
promise, the Holy Spirit came down from heaven, lighting upon the
disciples, to teach them, and to lead them into all truth; giving
them boldness and fervent zeal constantly to preach the Gospel to
all nations; by which we have been brought out of darkness and
error into the clear light and true knowledge of you, and of your
Son Jesus Christ,
Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Arch-
angels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this
hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
The Prayer of Consecration
Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in your tender mercy, you
gave your only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for
our redemption. He offered himself and made, once for all time, a
perfect and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. He

instituted this remembrance of his passion and death, which he
commanded us to continue until he comes again. So now, Father,
we ask you to bless and sanctify, with your Word and Holy Spirit,
these gifts of bread and wine that we may partake of his most
blessed Body and Blood.
On the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took
bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to
his disciples, saying, “Take, eat; this is my Body which is given for
you: Do this in remembrance of me.”
After supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks,
he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my
Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you, and for many,
for the forgiveness of sins: Whenever you drink it, do this in re-
membrance of me.” Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
The Celebrant continues
Lord and heavenly Father, with these holy gifts we celebrate the
memorial instituted by your beloved Son, remembering his passion
and death, his resurrection and ascension, and his promise to come
again. Grant that by his merits and death, and through faith in his
Blood, we and your whole Church may receive forgiveness of our
sins and all other benefits of his passion, making us one body with
him that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And here we offer to
you, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a living sacrifice,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. By him and with him and in him, in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty
Father, now and forever. Amen.

The Prayer of Humble Access Celebrant and People praying together
We do not presume to come to this your table, merciful Lord, trust-
ing in our own righteousness, but in your abundant and great mer-
cies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under
your table. But you are the same Lord, who always delights in
showing mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the
flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink his blood, that our
sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed
through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell
in him, and he in us. Amen.
