*THE PRAYER OF THE DAY and THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)

Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gathered together in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth your power among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

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.

*THE GLORIA PATRI (Hymn 558)

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 84

Leader: How lovely is your dwelling place, O Lord of hosts!
People: My soul longs, indeed it faints for the courts of the Lord; my heart and my flesh sing for joy to the living God.
Leader: Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, at your altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
People: Happy are those who live in your house, ever singing your praise.
Leader: Happy are those whose strength is in you, in whose heart are the highways to Zion. As they go through the valley of Baca they make it a place of springs; the early rain also covers it with pools.
People: They go from strength to strength; the God of gods will be seen in Zion.
Leader: OLord God of hosts, hear my prayer; give ear, O God of Jacob!
People: Behold our shield, O God; look on the face of your anointed.
Leader: For a day in your courts is better than a thousand elsewhere. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than live in the tents of wickedness.
People: For the Lord God is a sun and shield; he bestows favour and honour. No good thing does the Lord withhold from those who walk uprightly.
Leader: OLord of hosts, happy is everyone who trusts in you.
People: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
