Psalm 25 | Individual Lament
Prayer of guidance and forgiveness; the first section and the third section deals with the individual; the second speaks of God in the third person; seeking divine guidance. Turn to me have have pity on me; bring me out of my troubles; forgive me all my sin; my hope has been in you.
Exodus 18
So Moses listened to his father-in-law and did all that he had said. Moses chose able men from all Israel and appointed them as heads over the people, as officers over thousands, hundreds, fifties, and tens. And they judged the people at all times; hard cases they brought to Moses, but any minor case they decided themselves. Then Moses let his father-in-law depart, and he went off to his own country.
1 Peter 5
Elders tend your flock for service only; cloth yourselves with humility; God will support you; Peace to all of you that are in Christ.
Matthew 3
John the Baptist appears in the wilderness; and he baptized many for the forgiveness of sins.

Collect of the Day: The Third Sunday in Easter

O God, whose blessed Son made himself known to his disciples in the breaking of bread: Open the eyes of our faith, that we may behold him in all his redeeming work; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

For Mission

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
