Sheringham: St Peter

The Lord is here. His Spirit is with us.

Hymn: Come Holy Ghost our Souls Inspire...

Acts 2:1-21

The Spirit of the Lord fills the world and knows our every word and deed.

Let us then open ourselves to the Lord and confess our sins in penitence and faith:

Most merciful God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, we confess that we have sinned in thought, word and deed. We have not loved you with our whole heart. We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. In your mercy forgive what we have been, help us to amend what we are, and direct what we shall be; that we may do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with you, our God. Amen.

May the God of love bring us back to himself, forgive us our sins, and assure us of his eternal love in Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Prayer for the day: Holy Spirit, sent by the Father, ignite in us your holy fire; strengthen your children with the gift of faith, revive your Church with the breath of love, and renew the face of the earth, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Alleluia, Alleluia. Come, Holy Spirit, fill the hearts of your faithful people and kindle in us the fire of your love. Alleluia.

John 7: 37-39

Hymn: The King of Love my Shepherd is...

We ask that we may be strengthened to serve you better.
