!THE COLLECT

Almighty God, on this day you opened the way of eternal life to 
 every race and nation by the promised gift of your Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel and the administration of the Holy Sacraments, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

!THE FIRST READING: !READER: A Reading from the Word of God written in the Acts of the Apostles Chapter 2 beginning at the 1st verse

!When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in

one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Par'thians and Medes and E'lamites and residents of Mesopota'mia, Judea and Cappado'cia, Pontus and Asia, Phryg'ia and Pamphyl'ia, Egypt and the parts of Libya

!3

belonging to Cyre'ne, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God."

Thanks be to God.

PSALM 104: 25-32!

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. !

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. !

!THE EPISTLE !A Reading from the Word of God written in the First Letter to the Corinthians Chapter 12 beginning at the 4th verse.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills. For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body -- Jews or Greeks, slaves or free -- and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

THE HOLY GOSPEL The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

!

A Reading from the Holy Gospel according to John Glory to Christ our Saviour.

At that time on the evening of Easter day, the first day of the week, the doors being shut where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them and said to them, "Peace be with you." When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, "Peace be with you. As the Father has sent me, even so I send you." And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained."

The Gospel of Christ Praise to Christ our Lord.

From the Rector’s Notebook Greetings:

!

Today is the Feast of Pentecost, the fiftieth day of the Easter season which links the coming of the Holy Spirit to the resurrection of our Lord.

!

The author of Acts gives an account of the symbolic action of the Holy Spirit When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. Acts 2: 1 - 3

!

The Feast of Pentecost would gain theological and liturgical significance in the life of the early church which continues to our time.

!

The 4th century Egyptian Abbot Theonas states that the coming of the Spirit on the fiftieth day fulfills the Jewish feast of Weeks on which "the bread of the first fruits was ordered to be offered by the priests to the Lord.”

!

This notion is a reflection of words located in the writing of the Apostle Paul We know that the whole creation has been groaning in travail together until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit . . .

(Romans 8:22-23)

!

Professor Patrick Regan tells us that during the 5th century St. Leo the Great presented Easter and Pentecost as "two closely connected and cognate festivals.” He went on to say that Pentecost having

!7

become a baptismal day acquired the same liturgical observances as the Pasch itself.

This may help our understanding of the Feast of Pentecost as Whitsunday, as the day the newly baptised were clothed in white as a symbol of their new status in Christ.

!

One of the elements in the Pentecost observance is the understanding of the inseparability of the Son and the Spirit. Easter and Pentecost symbolically remind us of the unity of these two persons of the Godhead.

!

It is this connectedness that speaks to us of community. The persons of the Godhead function together as one. We may remember that this is Jesus’ prayer for us that we may be one. (St. John 17)

!

It is vital to remember two aspects of today’s observance, firstly the need for community. God almighty calls persons with a variety of gifts to function as the one body of Christ.

!

Secondly the Holy Spirit leads in a sensible, reasonable and logical way directing the church from age to age; helping us to use gifts of mind and intellect in order to further the work of Christ.

!

May the Holy Sprit fill our hearts with light at this blessed Pentecost season.

!

Your friend and priest, ! !

HEALTH CORNER!

LET'S GROW OUR OWN FOOD Does your supermarket bill keep raising your blood pressure? Always looking at the two bags in your hand and wondering if the cashier made an error? Praying that you would spend less money next month? Well here is your answer, grow your own food! Imagine if each member of our congregation planted one herb or vegetable and each week shared with the persons sitting around them. This practice would eventually make a dent in your grocery bills!

Yes, you are thinking it's a great idea but who has the time or possibly the space. Start with a herb like thyme that likes full sun but not much water, it doesn't have to be watered every day. Water it during the commercial breaks of Days of Our Lives! In terms of space, use a container that is around the house, there is no need to run off and buy a fancy pot.

!

!

Here are some creative idea for planters: That old vase or cup that you broke last Christmas but haven't thrown out yet.

The old colander which belonged to your mother; it's perfect for planting, it already has holes for drainage.Your old shoe organiser that has been in the shed for ages.
