Call to Celebration
Jesus wanted to change the hearts and change the world.
Gospel compassion is radically inclusive.
Jesus brought an upside-down kin-dom of the Spirit.
Gospel compassion is radically inclusive
The Spirit colors outside the line and tears down barriers between people. Like the wind. the Spirit blows where She will.
Gospel compassion is radically inclusive.
Amen
Offertory
Jesus welcomed all to the open table. Hospitality is how God extends welcome to all, no matter who you are and wherever you are in your life. Hospitality is sharing of food whereby no one is hungry. This is what God desires for all and that is what we must never deny another. Amen

Scripture Lesson
Acts of the Apostles: 2: 1-13
The Holy Spirit Comes at Pentecost
2 When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one place. 2 Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the whole house where they were sitting. 3 They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separated and came to rest on each of them. 4 All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues[a] as the Spirit enabled them.
5 Now there were staying in Jerusalem God-fearing Jews from every nation under heaven. 6 When they heard this sound, a crowd came together in bewilderment, because each one heard their own language being spoken. 7 Utterly amazed, they asked: “Aren’t all these who are speaking Galileans? 8 Then how is it that each of us hears them in our native language? 9 Parthians, Medes and Elamites; residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia,[b] 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya near Cyrene; visitors from Rome 11 (both Jews and converts to Judaism); Cretans and Arabs—we hear them declaring the wonders of God in our own tongues!” 12 Amazed and perplexed, they asked one another, “What does this mean?”
13 Some, however, made fun of them and said, “They have had too much wine.”
