Leader:  Rejoice in the Lord always.  I will say it again: Rejoice!

People:  Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

Leader:  And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

People:  To our God and Father be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

We gather together to ask the Lord’s blessing;
He chastens and hastens his will to make known;
The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing.
Sing praises to his name; he forgets not his own.
 

Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining,
Ordaining, maintaining his kingdom divine;
So from the beginning the fight we were winning;
Thou, Lord, wast at our side; all glory be thine!
 

We all do extol thee, thou leader triumphant,
And pray that thou still our defender wilt be.
Let thy congregation escape tribulation;
Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!

Everlasting God, in whom we live and move and have our being: You have made us for yourself, so that our hearts are restless until they rest in you.  Give us purity of heart and strength of purpose, that no selfish passion may hinder us from knowing your will, no weakness keep us from doing it; that in your light we may see light clearly, and in your service find perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

At that time Jesus said, "I praise you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children.  26 Yes, Father, for this was your good pleasure.  27 "All things have been committed to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.  28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.  29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.  30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." 

Come, ye thankful people, come, raise the song of harvest home; 
all is safely gathered in, ere the winter storms begin. 
God our Maker doth provide for our wants to be supplied; 
come to God's own temple, come, raise the song of harvest home. 
 

All the world is God's own field, fruit as praise to God we yield; 
wheat and tares together sown are to joy or sorrow grown; 
first the blade and then the ear, then the full corn shall appear; 
Lord of harvest, grant that we wholesome grain and pure may be. 

Even so, Lord, quickly come, bring thy final harvest home; 
gather thou thy people in, free from sorrow, free from sin, 
there, forever purified, in thy presence to abide; 
come, with all thine angels, come, raise the glorious harvest home.

    I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth;
    And in Jesus Christ His only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; the third day He rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
    I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholic church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body; and the life everlasting.  Amen. 

Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness!
Morning by morning new mercies I see; 
All I have needed Thy hand hath provided
Great is Thy faithfulness, Lord, unto me!
