Anna Douthwright, Celebration Dance Guild During the Hebrew harvest feast of Pentecost, the priests dance with the Torah. God's Presence is like the overflow of ripe fruit and grain. It shines through the Torah. After the priests dance, the story of Ruth is told, because it is suffused with God's steadfast lovingkindness (hesed). The promised Holy Spirit was poured out at Pentecost, continuing the story of the overflow of God's generosity. Our story, then, begins and ends with the prayer and the promise that God's Spirit lead us on the way that Ruth took. |

Marty Haugen, GIA Publications Evening prayer is a quiet service of light, psalms, scripture reading, and intercessory prayer. The service is centered around scripture-shaped, reflective meditation. Its quiet tone and focus on Christ-centered, everlasting peace is decidedly counter-cultural. This is spiritual refreshment for those who are spiritually thirsty. This service can be celebrated either formally or informally, very simply or with greater complexity. The genius of the service lies in its simple, yet balanced structure: (1) gathering in Jesus' name, (2) Psalms, (3) scripture, and (4) prayer. |
