The Proclamation of the Word
First Reading: Acts 2:1-21 ........................ Amelia Foster reading in Afrikaans
When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together
in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound
like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house
where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, ap-
peared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them.
All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability.
Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven
living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered
and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking
in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they
asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And
how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native lan-
guage? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Meso-
potamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia
and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to
Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes,
Cretans and Arabs—in our own languages we hear them
speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed
and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this
mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with
new wine.’
But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and
addressed them: ‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusa-
lem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say.
Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only
nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken
through the prophet Joel:
“In the last days it will be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams.
Even upon my slaves, both men and women,
in those days I will pour out my Spirit;
and they shall prophesy.
And I will show portents in the heaven above
and signs on the earth below,
blood, and fire, and smoky mist.
5
The sun shall be turned to darkness
and the moon to blood,
before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.
Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be
saved.”
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.
Psalm 104:25-35 .................................................... Fr Ayoob reading in Hebrew 25 Yonder is the great and wide sea
with its living things too many to number,
creatures both small and great. 26 There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan,
which you have made for the sport of it. 27 All of them look to you
to give them their food in due season. 28 You give it to them; they gather it;
you open your hand,
and they are filled with good things. 29 You hide your face, and they are terrified;
you take away their breath,
and they die and return to their dust. 30 You send forth your Spirit, and they are created;
and so you renew the face of the earth. 31 May your glory, O Lord, endure for ever;
may you rejoice in all your works; 32 you look at the earth and it trembles;
you touch the mountains and they smoke. 33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will praise my God while I have my being. 34 May these words ¹of mine please you;
I will rejoice in the Lord. 35 Let sinners be consumed out of the earth,
and the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. Hallelujah!
All say together:
Glory to God, Source of all being,
Eternal Word and Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning is now
and shall be for ever. Amen.

Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 12:3b-13 ..... Linda Kern reading in Mandarin
Therefore I want you to understand that …. 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; and there
are varieties of activities, but it is the same God who acti-
vates all of them in everyone. To each is given the manifes-
tation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given
through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another
the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to
another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing
by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to
another prophecy, to another the discernment of spirits, to
another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpreta-
tion of tongues. All these are activated by one and the same
Spirit, who allots to each one individually just as the Spirit
chooses.
For just as the body is one and has many members, and all
the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is
with Christ. For in the one Spirit we were all baptized into
one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and we were all
made to drink of one Spirit.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to the church. Thanks be to God.

The Gospel John 20:19-23 read in French
Deacon May God be with you
People And also with you
Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John
People Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
When it was evening on that day, the first day of the week,
and the doors of the house where the disciples had met were
locked for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood among them
and said, ‘Peace be with you.’ After he said this, he showed
them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced when
they saw the Lord. Jesus said to them again, ‘Peace be with
you. As the Father has sent me, so I send you.’ When he had
said this, he breathed on them and said to them, ‘Receive the
Holy Spirit. If you forgive the sins of any, they are forgiven
them; if you retain the sins of any, they are retained.’
Deacon The Gospel of Christ
People Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Sermon ...................................................................................... Fr. Ayoob Adwar
An Affirmation of Faith Celebrant Let us affirm our faith
All You, O God, are supreme and holy.
You create our world and give us life.
Your purpose overarches everything we do.
You have always been with us.
You are God.
You, O God, are infinitely generous,
good beyond all measure.
You came to us before we came to you.
You have revealed and proved
your love for us in Jesus Christ,
who lived and died and rose again.
You are with us now.
You are God.
You, O God, are Holy Spirit.
You empower us to be your gospel in the world.
You reconcile and heal; you overcome death.
You are our God. We worship you. Amen.

Annie Webb reading in Dutch
Generous God, we thank you for the power of your Spirit. We ask
that all your people, and including your Church in all its forms
throughout the world, will be strengthened to love and serve You in
new ways during this time of global Pandemic. May the walls of
division be broken between races, religions, and classes -- between
rich and poor, slave and free, male and female, homosexual and
transgender and heterosexual -- that we might be united in your love
and grace, and serve you without fear.
Sung twice: Veni Sancte Spiritus
Diane Marshall reading in English
In our Anglican Church of Canada, we pray for our Primate Linda,
for the Indigenous Archbishop Mark, and for all bishops, priests,
deacons, and laity, that your Spirit will guide us all into new paths of
love and truth.
In our own Parish, we pray for our interim priest, Ayoob, and for
Deacon Bruce, and for their ministry among us. We pray for the
Wardens who serve St. Hilda’s with such faithfulness. We pray for
Katherine and the ministry of music and worship, and for Karen, the
office administrator.
Sung twice: Veni Sancte Spiritus
Michele Beaudry reading in Spanish
We thank you for the wisdom of your Spirit. Bless those in leader-
ship in our country, particularly at this time of pandemic. May they
be wise in the decisions that govern the lives of all peoples seeking
to live in the community of this nation. May they seek justice:
for the poor, the homeless, the marginalized, the young, the old;
for Indigenous peoples, and for new immigrants and refugees. And
may they make wise decisions affecting the stewardship of the land,
and the environment, and the wealth of our natural resources. Help
each of us to live justly and wisely in our relationships with families,
friends, co-workers and neighbors, and to do our part in caring for
the earth.
Sung twice: Veni Sancte Spiritus

Katherine Hume reading in French
We thank you for the peace of your Spirit. Guide those in power in
the community of the nations to seek peace and pursue justice.
Bring freedom to those whose lives are torn by war, insurrection,
and other violence. Bless the peacemakers, those who teach and
practice non-violence, and those who work to free our world, and
our society, from prejudice and hatred. Help each of us also to
believe in and work for the peace we pray for.
Sung twice: Veni Sancte Spiritus
Fr Ayoob reading in Italian
We thank you for the gifts of your Spirit. We ask you to equip us
for the work and relationships to which you have called each of us.
Help us to be stewards of the gifts you give us: of knowledge, skill,
artistry, experience, energy, and of our time and financial resources.
Sung twice: Veni Sancte Spiritus
Eric Paetkau reading in German
We thank you for the fruit of your Spirit. We ask you to help us to
live lives which are more pleasing to you and showing others your
love. Teach us to be generous, patient, and kind, strengthen us to be
faithful, and inspire us with the joy of knowing you.
We pray you would teach each of us to be sensitive to the needs of
those around us, of those who cross our paths each day, in person or
on social media. Open our eyes that we can see their need. Open our
ears that we can hear the longings of their hearts. And open our
hearts that we can respond to them with the love of Christ. Help us
to rise above our fears, anxieties, addictions and apathy to hear and
see the wrongs we are called to right, and the pain of this time of
global pandemic history in which you call us to be agents of healing
in our own small way.
Sung twice: Veni Sancte Spiritus

Confession and Absolution Celebrant Dear friends in Christ,
God is steadfast in love and infinite in mercy;
God welcomes sinners and invites them to this table.

Most merciful God,
All we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us,
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen.
Celebrant Almighty God have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Celebrant The peace of the Lord be with you all.
People And also with you.
Offertory Hymn ........................... Breathe on Me, Breath of God CP 649 1. Breathe on me, breath of God; fill me with life anew,
that I may love what thou dost love,
and do what thou wouldst do.
2. Breathe on me, breath of God, until my heart is pure,
until my will is one with thine to do and to endure.
3. Breathe on me, breath of God, till I am wholly thine,
until this earthly part of me glows with thy fire divine.
4. Breathe on me, breath of God: so shall I never die,
but live with thee the perfect life of thine eternity.
11
Prayer over the Gifts Celebrant Giver of life,
People receive all we offer you this day.
Let the Spirit you bestow on your Church
continue to work in the world
through the hearts of all who believe.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer 3 ............................................................... BAS p. 198 Celebrant The Lord be with you.
People And also with you.
Celebrant Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to God.
Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God.
People It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Celebrant Blessed are you, gracious God,
creator of heaven and earth;
we give you thanks and praise
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
In fulfilment of your promise
you pour forth your Spirit upon us,
filling us with gifts and leading us into all truth.
You give us power to proclaim your gospel to all nations
and to serve you as a royal priesthood.
Therefore we join our voices with angels and archangels,
and with all those in whom the Spirit dwells,
to proclaim the glory of your name:
Sanctus Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Celebrant We give thanks to you, Lord our God,
for the goodness and love
you have made known to us in creation;
in calling Israel to be your people;
in your Word spoken through the prophets;
and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus your Son.
For in these last days you sent him
to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
to be the Saviour and Redeemer of the world.
12
In him, you have delivered us from evil,
and made us worthy to stand before you.
In him, you have brought us
out of error into truth,
out of sin into righteousness,
out of death into life.
On the night he was handed over
to suffering and death,
a death he freely accepted,
our Lord Jesus Christ took bread;
and when he had given thanks to you,
he broke it, and gave it to his disciples and said,
“Take, eat: this is my body which is given for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine;
and when he had given thanks,
he gave it to them, and said,
“Drink this, all of you:
this is my blood of the new covenant,
which is shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Whenever you drink it,
do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore Father, according to his command,
People we remember his death,
we proclaim his resurrection,
we await his coming in glory;
Celebrant and we offer our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving
of praise and thanksgiving to you, Lord of all;
presenting to you, from your creation,
this bread and this wine.
We pray you, gracious God,
to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts,
that they may be the sacrament of the body of Christ
and his blood of the new covenant.
Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice,
that we, made acceptable in him,
may be sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
In the fullness of time,
reconcile all things in Christ, and make them new,
and bring us to that city of light
13
where you dwell with all your sons and daughters;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
the firstborn of all creation,
the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation;
by whom, and with whom, and in whom,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all honour and glory are yours, almighty Father,
now and for ever. Amen
The Lord’s Prayer to be spoken in your own language
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
now and forever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread Celebrant Lord, we died with you on the cross.
People Now we are raised to new life.
Celebrant We were buried in your tomb.
People Now we share in your resurrection.
Celebrant Live in us, that we may live in you.
Agnus Dei Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: grant us peace.
Prayer After Communion

All may we who have received this eucharist
live in the unity of your Holy Spirit,
that we may show forth his gifts to all the world.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
