Psalm 98 |

Praise the Lord with a new song!

God’s love endures forever for everyone.
Let the entire creation praise the Lord!

James 1 |

Let everyone be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger;
Expel all rankness in your life; Be doers of the word; Bridle your
tongue; Be pure before God

Matthew 6 |

Jesus continues to preach the Sermon on the Mount; watch that you
practice your religion for the glory of others and not God; be quiet

and silent when you give to a worthy cause - your reward will be in
heaven. Pray to God and not as a public display for other to be impressed
by your religiousness. Develop your relationship with God in secret.

Grant us, Lord, not to be anxious about earthly things, but to love things
heavenly; and even now, while we are placed among things that are
passing away, to hold fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God,
forever and ever. Amen.

For Mission
O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore:
Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you,
all tongues confess and bless you, and men and women
everywhere love you and serve you in peace; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Our Ministry
O gracious God, you have given your very self to save the world.

You give us hope when hope is gone. You give of strength to
carry on. Amen
