This Sunday is the celebration of Pentecost.
As we join together in worship we acknowledge that we live on Turtle island, land that creator brought out of the waters so all could have life. Turtle island is the traditional territory of Anishinaabeg, Cree, Oji-Cree, and Dakota peoples, and the homeland of the Metis Nation.

Welcome and Announcement
Singing: MV142 Oh A Song Must Rise
Oh a song must rise for the Spirit to descend
Oh a song must rise once again (again)
Singing out God’s praises and glory
the faithful voices blend
Oh a song must rise for the Spirit to descend (descend)
From the mountains to the valleys,
from the desert to the sea, a song must rise once again.
From the voices of our leaders, the voice of you and me,
a song must rise for the Spirit to descend
From poverty and riches, from the voice of young and old
a song must rise once again
From the free and the imprisoned, the timid and the bold
a song must rise for the Spirit to descend
From ev’ry house of worship, in ev’ry faith and tongue
a song must rise once again
From the villages and cities, a new song must be sung
a song must rise for the Spirit to descend.

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy Name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
‘हे हाम्रा पिता, जो स्वर्गमा हुनुहुन्छ,
तपाईंको नाउँ पवित्र होस्।
तपाईंको राज्य आओस्।
तपाईंको इच्छा स्वर्गमा जस्तो छ,
त्यस्तै यस पृथ्वीमा पूरा होस्।
हामीलाई आज हाम्रो दैनिक भोजन दिनुहोस्।
हाम्रा अपराधहरू क्षमा गर्नुहोस्,
जसरी हामीले आफ्ना अपराधीहरूलाई क्षमा गरेका छौं।
हामीलाई परीक्षामा पर्न नदिनुहोस्,
तर दुष्टबाट छुटाउनुहोस्
किनभने राज्य, पराक्रम र महिमा
सदासर्वदा तपाईंकै हुन्, आमेन।’
Singing: MV26 Your Love is Amazing
Your love is amazing, steady and unchanging
Your love is a mountain, firm beneath my feet.
Your love is a mystery, how you gently lift me,
When I am surrounded your love carries me.
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Your love makes me sing
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Your love makes me sing
Your love is surprising, I can feel it rising
All the joy that’s growing deep inside of me
Every time I see you all your goodness shines through
I can feel this God song rising up in me
