A reading from the Acts of the Apostles.

Philip went down to the city of Samaria and proclaimed the Christ to them.

With one accord, the crowds paid attention to what was said by Philip

when they heard it and saw the signs he was doing. For unclean

spirits, crying out in a loud voice, came out of many possessed people, and many paralyzed

or crippled people were cured. It was a great joy in that city.

Now, when the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they sent them Peter and John,

who went down and prayed for them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, for it had not yet fallen upon any of them.

They had only been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Then they laid hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

The word of the Lord.

Thanks, Peter's good. Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Cry out in joy to the Lord, all peoples on earth. Sing to the praise of people's honor.

Sing to the praise of God's name, proclaiming forever.

Tremendous your deeds for us.

Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Leading your people safe through fire and water, bringing their souls to life. We sing of your glory.

Your love is eternal.

Let all the earth cry out to God with joy.

Harken to me as I sing,
