Prayer
Almighty God,
fount of all wisdom, crown of all knowledge;
give us eyes to see
and minds to understand your marvellous works,
that we may know you through your handiwork
and use your creation to your glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - God’s Spirit poured out

26Once again you will have all the food you want.
“Praise the Lord, who does these miracles for you. Never again will my people experience disaster such as this. 27And you will know that I am here among my people Israel, and that I alone am the Lord your God. And my people shall never again be dealt a blow like this.
28“After I have poured out my rains again, I will pour out my Spirit upon all of you! Your sons and daughters will prophesy; your old men will dream dreams, and your young men see visions. 29And I will pour out my Spirit even on your slaves, men and women alike.
. . . . .Joel 2:26-29God set us free to worship without fear;*
holy and righteous all the days of our life.
