All together in one place;
 
they heard the rush of a violent wind;
 
it filled the entire house.
 
Divided tongues, as of fire,
 
appeared and rested on each of them;
 
they were filled with the Holy Spirit.
 
Amen.
 
 
 
===Opening Prayer===
 
Spirit of God, we build walls and barriers. We assume and
 
stereotype. We devalue difference and stick with what is
 
known and familiar. Forgive our lack of courage. Embolden us
 
to cross boundaries of difference. Fill us with your Holy Spirit
 
that gathers us together and calls us to community. Amen.
