The Day of Pentecost
Collect of the Day – O God, on this day You once taught the hearts of Your faithful people by sending them the light of Your Holy Spirit. Grant us in our day by the same Spirit to have a right understanding in all things and evermore to rejoice in His holy consolation; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Lessons on the Liturgy – Farewell and Godspeed to a Pastor
Included in the Lutheran Service Book Agenda is the rite of farewell and Godspeed to a pastor. This rite is used in a congregation when a pastor has accepted a call to a new field of service. Here is one of the prayers from that rite, which we pray on behalf of Trinity and Pastor Hauan:
O Lord God, merciful and gracious Father, we give thanks for all the blessings You have bestowed on this congregation, its members, and the Church through the ministry of Your servant Eric. By Your Holy Spirit grant him grace in his new field of service, readiness, and steadfastness in his ministry, patience, understanding, a cheerful spirit, and great zeal. Support and strengthen him that by Your Word Your Church may be built and increased; through Your Son, our great High Priest, Jesus Christ, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
