Scripture: I Corinthians 12: 4 - 7

There are different kinds of spiritual gifts, but the same Spirit gives them.
There are different ways of serving, but the same Lord is served.
There are different abilities to perform service,
but the same God gives ability to everyone for their particular service.
The Spirit's presence is shown in some way in each person for the good of all.
(Good News Bible - Today's English Version)

Hymn: "Many Gifts, One Spirit"

United Methodist Hymnal p. 114

ccc
God of change and glory, God of time and space,
When we fear the future, give to us your grace.
In the midst of changing ways
give us still the grace to praise.
Many gifts, one Spirit, one love known in many ways.
In our difference is blessing, from diversity we praise
One Giver, one Lord, one Spirit, one Word
known in many ways, hallowing our days.
For the Giver, for the gifts, praise, praise, praise!
ccc
God of many colors, God of many signs,
You have made us different, blessing many kinds.
As the old ways disappear,
Let your love cast out our fear.
Many gifts, one Spirit, one love known in many ways.
In our difference is blessing, from diversity we praise
One Giver, one Lord, one Spirit, one Word
known in many ways, hallowing our days.
For the Giver, for the gifts, praise, praise, praise!

Freshness of the morning, newness of each night,
You are still creating endless love and light.
This we see, as shadows part,
Many gifts from one great heart.
Many gifts, one Spirit, one love known in many ways.
In our difference is blessing, from diversity we praise
One Giver, one Lord, one Spirit, one Word
known in many ways, hallowing our days.
For the Giver, for the gifts, praise, praise, praise!
