Prayer of the Day
Stir up your power, Lord Christ, and come. By your merciful protection waken us to the threantening dangers of our sins, and keep us blameless until the coming of your new day, for you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Psalm 27: various verses
The LORD is my light and my salvation;
whom should I fear?
The LORD is my life's refuge;
of whom should I be afraid?
One thing I ask of the LORD;
this I seek:
To dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
That I may gaze on the loveliness of the LORD
and contemplate his temple.
I believe that I shall see the bounty of the LORD
in the land of the living.
Wait for the LORD with courage;
be stouthearted, and wait for the LORD.
Blessed are you, Creator of the universe, from old you have led your people by night and by day. May the light of your Christ make our darkness bright, for your Word and your presence are the light of our pathways and you are the light and life of all creation.
In peace, in peace, we pray to you!
God of all mercy, hold us in love.
Thank you to The Holden Evening Prayer by Marty Haugen for the blessing......we will use tidbits of this also in our advent devotions. This is the evening service being used for the Advent Services. The Blessed are you part was sung by Pastor as the congregation responded. Blessings to you on this First Friday of the Advent Season. Stay patient and wait.
