Call to worship <\/strong>(Psalm 117)<\/em><\/p>\n

Praise the Lord, all you nations;
\nextol him, all you peoples.
\n<\/strong>\u00a0<\/sup>For great is his love toward us,
\n\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Praise the Lord.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hymn 316 I will sing unto the Lord<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Psalm 1<\/strong><\/p>\n

1\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Blessed is the one
\nwho does not walk\u00a0in step with the wicked
\nor stand in the way\u00a0that sinners take
\nor sit\u00a0in the company of mockers,
\n2\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>but whose delight\u00a0is in the law of the\u00a0Lord,
\nand who meditates\u00a0on his law day and night.
\n3\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>That person is like a tree\u00a0planted by streams\u00a0of water,
\nwhich yields its fruit\u00a0in season
\nand whose leaf\u00a0does not wither\u2014
\nwhatever they do prospers.<\/p>\n

4\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Not so the wicked!
\nThey are like chaff
\nthat the wind blows away.
\n5\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Therefore the wicked will not stand\u00a0in the judgment,
\nnor sinners in the assembly\u00a0of the righteous.<\/p>\n

6\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>For the\u00a0Lord\u00a0watches over\u00a0the way of the righteous,
\nbut the way of the wicked leads to destruction.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luke 11:42-46<\/strong><\/p>\n

42\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cWoe to you Pharisees, because you give God a tenth\u00a0of your mint, rue and all other kinds of garden herbs, but you neglect justice and the love of God.\u00a0You should have practiced the latter without leaving the former undone.<\/p>\n

43\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cWoe to you Pharisees, because you love the most important seats in the synagogues and respectful greetings in the marketplaces.<\/p>\n

44\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>\u201cWoe to you, because you are like unmarked graves,\u00a0which people walk over without knowing it.\u201d<\/p>\n

45\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>One of the experts in the law\u00a0answered him, \u201cTeacher, when you say these things, you insult us also.\u201d<\/p>\n

46\u00a0<\/sup><\/strong>Jesus replied,\u00a0\u201cAnd you experts in the law, woe to you, because you load people down with burdens they can hardly carry, and you yourselves will not lift one finger to help them.<\/p>\n

The Lord\u2019s Prayer<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Collect<\/strong><\/p>\n

Almighty and everlasting God,
\nincrease in us your gift of faith
\nthat, forsaking what lies behind
\nand reaching out to that which is before,
\nwe may run the way of your commandments
\nand win the crown of everlasting joy;
\nthrough Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
\nwho is alive and reigns with you,
\nin the unity of the Holy Spirit,
\none God, now and for ever.Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hymn God who made the Earth and Heaven<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
1 God, who made the earth and heaven,
\nDarkness and light:
\nYou the day for work have given,
\nFor rest the night.
\nMay your angel guards defend us,
\nSlumber sweet your mercy send us,
\nHoly dreams and hopes attend us,
\nAll through the night.<\/p>\n

2 And when morn again shall call us
\nTo run life’s way,
\nMay we still, whate’er befall us,
\nYour will obey.
\nFrom the pow’r of evil hide us,
\nIn the narrow pathway guide us,
\nNever be your smile denied us
\nAll through the day.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/td>\n

3 Guard us waking, guard us sleeping,
\nAnd, when we die,
\nMay we in your mighty keeping
\nAll peaceful lie.
\nWhen the last dread call shall wake us,
\nThen, O Lord, do not forsake us,
\nBut to reign in glory take us
\nWith you on high.<\/p>\n

4 Holy Father, throned in heaven,
\nAll-holy Son,
\nHoly Spirit, freely given,
\nBlest Three-in-One:
\nGrant us grace, we now implore you,
\nTill we lay our crowns before you,
\nAnd in worthier strains adore you
\nWhile ages run.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

My Christ,my shield,my encircler,<\/p>\n

each day, each night, each light, each dark,<\/p>\n

be near me, uphold me,my treasure,my triumph.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Go in peace to love and serve The Lord<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the name of Christ Amen.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
