Welcome to our Outdoor Worship Service! We’re so happy that you’re with us this morning at Peace Tree. Please “love thy neighbor” by wearing a face covering whenever moving from your vehicle to the East Lawn (you may remove your mask once stationary and distanced from others).

Individually packaged Communion packets are available at the Welcome Table along with face masks and hand sanitizer. Please be aware of your proximity to others outside of your family and maintain a safe distance from other groups on the East Lawn.

If you have a prayer request, email prayer@peacetree.church. For more information about Peace Tree and our ministries, please visit www.peacetree.church and follow us on social media (@peacetreeumc). God bless you and Happy Pentecost!


Opening Prayer
O God, the Holy Spirit,
   come to us, and among us;
   come as the wind, and cleanse us;
   come as the fire, and burn;
   come as the dew, and refresh;
convict, convert, and consecrate
   many hearts and lives
      to our great good
      and to thy greater glory;
and this we ask for Jesus Christ’s sake. Amen.


Light the Fire
VERSE 1
I stand to praise you
But I fall to my knees
My spirit is hungry
But my flesh is so weak

CHORUS
Light the fire (Light the fire)
In my soul (In my weary soul)
Fan the flames (Fan the flames)
Make me whole (Make my spirit whole)
Lord, you know (Lord, you know)
Where I’ve been (Where I’ve been)
So light the fire in my heart again!

VERSE 2
I feel your arms around me
As the power of your healing begins
You breathe new live right through me
Like a mighty rushing wind

CHORUS (x2)


Breathe on Me, Breath of God
VERSE 1
Breathe on me, breath of God
Fill me with life anew
That I may love what thou dost love
And do what thou wouldst do

VERSE 2
Breathe on me, breath of God
Until my heart is pure
Until with thee I will one will
To do and to endure

VERSE 3
Breathe on me, breath of God
Till I am wholly thine
Till all this earthly part of me
Glows with thy fire divine

VERSE 4
Breathe on me, breath of God
So shall I never die
But live with thee the perfect life
Of thine eternity


The Baptismal Covenant
Brothers and sisters in Christ:
Through the Sacrament of Baptism
we are initiated into Christ's holy Church.
We are incorporated into God's mighty acts of salvation
and given new birth through water and the Spirit.
All this is God's gift, offered to us without price.

Today, we present:
Lucy Brooks Lowrance
for baptism.

On behalf of the whole Church, I ask you:
Do you renounce the spiritual forces of wickedness,
reject the evil powers of this world,
and repent of your sin?
If so, say, “I do.”

Do you accept the freedom and power God gives you
to resist evil, injustice, and oppression
in whatever forms they present themselves?
If so, say, “I do.”

Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior,
put your whole trust in his grace,
and promise to serve him as your Lord,
in union with the Church which Christ has opened
to people of all ages, nations, and races?
If so, say, “I do.”

Will you nurture this child
in Christ's holy Church,
that by your teaching and example she may be guided
to accept God's grace for herself,
to profess her faith openly,
and to lead a Christian life?
If so, say, “I will.”

Do you, as Christ's body, the Church,
reaffirm both your rejection of sin
and your commitment to Christ?
We do.

Will you nurture one another in the Christian faith and life
and include this child now before you in your care?
With God's help we will proclaim the good news
and live according to the example of Christ.
We will surround this child
with a community of love and forgiveness,
that she may grow in her trust of God,
and be found faithful in her service to others.
We will pray for her,
that she may be a true disciple
who walks in the way that leads to life.

Pour out your Holy Spirit,
to bless this gift of water and she who receives it,
to wash away her sin
and clothe her in righteousness
throughout her life,
that, dying and being raised with Christ,
she may share in his final victory.

(HOLY BAPTISM)

Now it is our joy to welcome
our new sister in Christ.

Through baptism
you are incorporated by the Holy Spirit
into God's new creation
and made to share in Christ's royal priesthood.
We are all one in Christ Jesus.
With joy and thanksgiving we welcome you
as a member of the family of Christ.

As members of Christ's universal church, will you be loyal to Christ through The United Methodist Church, and do all in your power to strengthen its ministries? If so, say, “I will."

As members of this congregation, will you faithfully participate in its ministries by your prayers, your presence, your gifts, your service, and your witness? If so, say, “I will.”

We give thanks for all that God has already given you
and we welcome you in Christian love.
As members together with you in the body of Christ
and in this congregation of The United Methodist Church,
we renew our covenant faithfully
to participate in the ministries of the church
by our prayers, our presence,
our gifts, our service, and our witness,
that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ.


Holy Spirit
VERSE 1
There’s nothing worth more
That will ever come close
Nothing can compare
You’re our living hope
Your presence

VERSE 2
I’ve tasted and seen
Of the sweetest of loves
Where my heart becomes free
And my shame is undone
Your presence, Lord

CHORUS
Holy Spirit, you are welcome here
Come flood this place and fill the atmosphere
Your glory, God, is what our hearts long for
To be overcome by your presence, Lord

VERSE 1

VERSE 2

CHORUS (x2)

BRIDGE (x4)
Let us become more aware of your presence
Let us experience the glory of your goodness

Kids Time with Mrs. Connie


Scripture Lesson | Romans 8:22-27
We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with sighs too deep for words. And God, who searches the heart, knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.


Message | “A Spirit of Hope” Rev. Kristofer Roof


Holy Communion

INVITATION
Christ our Lord invites to his table all who love him,
who earnestly repent of their sin
and seek to live in peace with one another.
Therefore, let us confess our sin before God and one another.

CONFESSION AND PARDON
Merciful God,
we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart.
We have failed to be an obedient church.
We have not done your will,
we have broken your law,
we have rebelled against your love,
we have not loved our neighbors,
and we have not heard the cry of the needy.
Forgive us, we pray.
Free us for joyful obedience,
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hear the good news:
Christ died for us while we were yet sinners;
that proves God's love toward us.
In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!

In the name of Jesus Christ, you are forgiven!
Glory to God. Amen.

THE PEACE
Let us offer one another signs of reconciliation and love.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.

Lift up your hearts. 
We lift them up to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give our thanks and praise.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing,
always and everywhere to give thanks to you,
almighty God, creator of heaven and earth…
And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven
we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Holy are you, and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ.
By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection
you gave birth to your Church,
delivered us from slavery to sin and death,
and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit…

And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving
as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ's offering for us,
as we proclaim the mystery of faith.
Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.

Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here,
and on these gifts of bread and wine.
Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ,
that we may be for the world the body of Christ, redeemed by his blood.

By your Spirit make us one with Christ,
one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world,
until Christ comes in final victory, and we feast at his heavenly banquet.

Through your Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church, all honor and glory is yours, almighty God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
And now, with the confidence of children of God, let us pray:
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. Amen.

BREAKING THE BREAD AND GIVING THE CUP
Because there is one loaf, we, who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. The bread which we break is a sharing in the body of Christ.

The cup over which we give thanks is a sharing in the blood of Christ.

PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION
Eternal God, we give you thanks for this holy mystery
in which you have given yourself to us.
Grant that we may go into the world
in the strength of your Spirit,
to give ourselves for others,
in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


Burning in My Soul
VERSE 1
There is power, power
Here in this hour, this hour
We’re all together, together
Waiting here as one

CHORUS
Hear the sound from heaven
A mighty rushing wind
We’re calling for revival
God let your fire fall again
It’s burning in my soul
It’s burning in my soul

VERSE 2
All your sons and your daughters
Dreaming the dreams of their fathers
Seeing the signs and the wonders
The Kingdom of God

CHORUS

BRIDGE
I cannot contain it, this fire inside
I cannot contain it, so let it shine
I cannot contain it, this light of mine

CHORUS

VERSE 1
