Prayer for Pentecost... Rebecca Glancy
Gracious God, Living, Eternal Spirit, we thank You that You seek us in tender loving care, lest any be lost. Help us, in the same way, to reach out toward those who may feel alienated or excluded from the Christian Community. Send Your Spirit upon us, that when we speak the word of Your love, people may hear and understand in their own language as on the Pentecost day so long ago; for we pray in the name of Jesus, the Christ.
