 g Acts 2: 1 – 11\n\nWhen the day of Pentecost arrived\, the Apostles wer
 e all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound l
 ike a mighty rushing wind\, and it filled the entire house where they were
  sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on ea
 ch 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.\n\n\nNow there 
 were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews\, devout men from every nation under heave
 n. And at this sound the multitude came together\, and they were bewildere
 d\, because each one was hearing them speak in his own language. And they 
 were amazed and astonished\, saying\, ‘Are not all these who are speakin
 g Galileans? And how is it that we hear\, each of us in his own native lan
 guage? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia\, Jud
 ea and Cappadocia\, Pontus and Asia\, Phrygia and Pamphylia\,\n\nEgypt and
  the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene\, and visitors from Rome\, both Je
 ws and proselytes\, Cretans and Arabians — we hear them telling in our o
 wn tongues the mighty works of God.’\n\n\nPsalm 104 - Response – “Se
 nd forth your Spirit O Lord\, and renew the face of the earth”\n\n\n2nd 
 Reading 1 Corinthians 12: 3-7\, 12-13\n\n\nBrothers and Sisters: No one ca
 n say ‘Jesus is Lord’ except in the Holy Spirit. Now there are varieti
 es of gifts\, but the same Spirit\; and there are varieties of service\, b
 ut the same Lord\; and there are varieties of activities\, but it is the s
 ame God who empowers them all in everyone. To each is given the manifestat
 ion of the Spirit for the common good.\n\n\nFor just as the body is one an
 d has many members\, and all the members of the body\, though many\, are o
 ne body\, so it is with Christ. For in one Spirit we were all baptised int
 o one body — Jews or Greeks\, slaves or free — and all were made to dr
 ink of one Spirit.\n\n\nGospel John 20: 19 – 23\n\n\nOn the evening of t
 hat day\, the first day of the week\, the doors being locked where the dis
 ciples were for fear of the Jews\, Jesus came and stood among them and sai
 d to them\, ‘Peace be with you.’ When he had said this\, he showed the
 m his hands and his side. Then the disciples were glad when they saw the L
 ord. Jesus said to them again\, ‘Peace be with you. As the Father has se
 nt me\, even so I am sending you.’ And when he had said this\, he breath
 ed on them and said to them\, ‘Receive the Holy Spirit. If you forgive t
 he sins of any\, they are forgiven them\; if you withhold forgiveness from
  any\, it is withheld.’\n\n\nNOTICES\n\n\nToday we pay tribute to Mrs Lo
