Worship Planning Notes

Use the day to celebrate all the ministries of the church and all the lay people who share in those ministries. Invite everyone to wear the color Red (the liturgical color for Pentecost).

One way to “enter into the story” that is recalled in 1 Corinthians which lists the gifts of the Spirit is to invite people at an appropriate point in the service to stand in groups of three or four to tell one another, succinctly, how God first revealed his gifting of them. This may seem to be a somewhat noisy suggestion, but it will reenact something of the release of the Spirit's empowering grace in the congregation.

Offer an opportunity for individuals to respond to their ministry callings and giftings. Facilitate a spiritual gifts assessment in the month of May as part of your Christian Education efforts and pray with individuals to encourage them to remain open to God’s direction. Also, provide general written information such as characteristics and skill-sets that are in line with various giftings. People really want to work in the Church and their community but may need direction to help them settle into the best area of ministry work for the current season of their life.

It’s the Same Spirit
(1 Corinthians 12:3b-13)
Choir (Sung): Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
(Use the Songs of Zion Hymnal, #121. Sing the melody in unison, the refrain only.)
Group 1: No one can say, “Jesus is Lord”
except by the Holy Spirit.
Now there are varieties of gifts,
but the same Spirit;
and there are varieties of services but the same Lord.
Group 2 There are varieties of activities
but it is the same God
who activates all of them in everyone.
To each is given
the manifestation
of the Spirit
for the common good.
Choir (Sung): I’m gonna sing when the Spirit says sing, (3 times)
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
(Songs of Zion, #81. Sing the melody in unison.)
Group 1: To one is given through the Spirit of utterance of wisdom and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit.
Choir (Sung):  I’m gonna preach when the Spirit says preach (3 times)
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
(Songs of Zion, #81. Sing the melody in unison.)
Group 2: To another faith by the same Spirit,
to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit.
Choir (Sung):   I’m gonna pray when the Spirit says pray (3 times)
and obey the Spirit of the Lord.
(Songs of Zion, #81. Sing the melody in unison.)
Group 1: To another the working of miracles,
to another prophecy,
to another the discernment of spirits.
Group 2: To another various kinds of tongues,
to another the interpretation of tongues.
Choir (Sung): I’m gonna shout when the Spirit says shout and
obey the Spirit of the Lord.
(Songs of Zion, #81. Sing the melody in unison.)
Both Groups: All these are activated by one and the same Spirit,
who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit chooses.
Choir (Sung): Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
Every time I feel the Spirit moving in my heart I will pray.
(Songs of Zion, #121. Sing the melody in harmony.)
