*THE PRAYER OF THE DAY and THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)
Keep, O Lord and great Father, your household the Church in your steadfast faith and love, that through your grace we may proclaim your truth with boldness, and minister your justice with compassion; for the sake of your Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever and taught us to say:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen, Amen.

THE INVITATION TO SUNDAY SCHOOL
THE PSALMODY Psalm 9 sung to Now Thank We All Our God
I will give thanks to God, Be gracious, Lord, to me;
Who wondrous gifts has given; How great my desolation;
My heart delights to praise A saving word from Thee
The Lord of earth and heaven. My only consolation.
God’s justice never fails O lift me from the snares
To rule with equity; My wicked foes have laid;
And measures of God’s grace And lead me through the mire
Are mine to set me free. Unscathed and unafraid.
Our stronghold sure, O God, Remember, Lord, how we
And shelter from oppression; thy faithful blessings cherish;
A constant source of strength Though death may hold us fast,
Amid all tribulation. Our hope shall never perish.
For those who trust thy name, Arise, O God, in might
Deliv’rance is their prize; Against unrighteous hands;
And those who seek Thy face While earth shall fall to dust,
Find favor in Thine eyes God’s kingdom ever stands.
