A song for the king, he is a great ruler;
God has anointed him;
The queen is beautiful;

Paul - my imprisonment is for Christ and is proclaimed. I rejoice in this, Christ is my faith; live your life in a way that is worthy of Christ; believing and suffering in Christ.

The women went early to the tomb of Jesus; the stone was rolled away; an angel said to them he arisen and tell the others I will meet them in Galilee, but they ran with fear and told no one.

Collect for the Day
Grant us, O Lord, to trust in you with all our hearts; for, as you always resist the proud who confide in their own strength, so you never forsake those who make their boast of your mercy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
For Mission
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name. Amen.
A Collect for the Renewal of Life
O God, the King eternal,
who divides the day from the night
and turns the shadow of death into the morning:
Drive far from us all wrong desires,
incline our hearts to keep your law,
and guide our feet into the way of peace;
that, having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day,
we may, when night comes,
rejoice to give you thanks;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
A Prayer for People Doing Missions
I thank the Lord for all those who are volunteering their time;
They go to disasters and build and comfort;
They go to distant lands to talk about You;
They go to staff retreat centers so that You may walk with others;
They go and are persecuted for the faith;
Bring your legions of angels to guard and protect them;
Surround them with the Holy Spirit so they feel your presence;
And may they come home worked well and revitalize in the Gospel to be witnesses to others and inspire service.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
