I join with all who are praying *
to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening Prayer
Let us bow down in humility at the power and grandeur of the Holy Spirit. *
Let us worship the Holy Trinity and give glory today to the Paraclete, our Advocate.
Oh Holy Spirit, by Your power, Christ was raised from the dead to save us all. By Your grace, miracles are performed in Jesus’ name. By Your love, we are protected from evil. And so, we ask with humility and a beggar’s heart for Your gift of Peace within us. *
The Saints were tempted, attacked and accused by the devil who is the destroyer of peace. When we are accused by the devil, come to our aid as our Advocate and give us Peace that lasts through all trials!
Amen.

Praying Acts 8:14-17 (New International Version)
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent Peter and John to Samaria. *
When they arrived, they prayed for the new believers there that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit had not yet come on any of them; they had simply been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus. Then Peter and John placed their hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
Response to the Scripture
Pour out your Spirit on all flesh; refine us that we may be able to stand in the day of your coming.

Ending Prayer
Lord, let the church say this: *
"Evangelists:
You bring people to Christ.
You are free to engage, invite, inspire and excite people through sharing stories, sharing your home, your life with others.
You are free to shout from the rooftops.
We release you to your calling in the Body of Christ."
And so let the evangelists be sent into the world to preach the gospel ... Amen!
