Call to Worship
Spirit of the living God, visit us again on this day of Pentecost.
Come, Holy Spirit.
Like a rushing wind that sweeps away all barriers,
come, Holy Spirit.
Like tongues of fire that set our hearts aflame,
come, Holy Spirit.
With speech that unites the Babel of our tongues,
come, Holy Spirit.
With love that overlaps the boundaries of race and nation,
come, Holy Spirit.
With power from above to make our weakness strong,
come, Holy Spirit. Amen.

Hymn of Invitation - #386 “The Comforter Has Come”
Chorus 1
The Comforter has come
The Comforter has come
The Holy Ghost from heav'n
The Father's promise giv'n
O spread the tidings 'round
Wherever man is found
The Comforter has come
Verse 1
O spread the tidings 'round
Wherever man is found
Wherever human hearts
And human woes abound
Let every Christian tongue
Proclaim the joyful sound
The Comforter has come
Verse 2
The long long night is past
The morning breaks at last
And hushed the dreadful wail
And fury of the blast
As o'er the golden hills
The day advances fast
The Comforter has come
Verse 3
Lo the great King of kings
With healing in His wings
To every captive soul
A full deliv'rance brings
And through the vacant cells
The song of triumph rings
The Comforter has come
Verse 4
O boundless love divine
How shall this tongue of mine
To wond'ring mortals tell
The matchless grace divine
That I a child of hell
Should in His image shine
The Comforter has come

Benediction
May Benevolence - In His Image Justice Coalition
(Taken from the IHIJC web-site)
IHIJC began in February 2016 as a team of concerned people at First Baptist Church of Mt Holly looking to host an A21 Walk for Freedom. Compelled by the inherent evil of human trafficking and shocked by its presence right in our own backyards, we set out to do something. The enthusiasm of this initial group drove the team to plan other events in addition to the Walk for Freedom. Partnering with other churches and community organizations, In His Image Justice Coalition (IHIJC) was born.
We, at In His Image Justice Coalition, dream of a world without trafficking, where the vulnerable are valued, protected, and lifted up, where the community refuses to live side by side with violence and the degradation of others. We dream of a world where there is no demand for commercial sex. We dream of a community informed to recognize the signs of trafficking, and mobilized to report suspicious activity. We dream of children who are informed of the dangers of trafficking and are able to protect themselves, and of parents, teachers, medical workers, etc. who are also well informed and on the lookout for exploitation, and are willing to provide the love and security that each child needs so that they don’t go looking for it elsewhere. We look to a world where little boys are brought up to value women and to refute the idea that a woman is a commodity to be used. We dream of a place where there is no poverty, no child abuse or neglect, no predators looking to exploit children for their own benefit. We look towards a future where every adult says, concerning human trafficking, “Not on my watch!”.
