Prayer of the Day

Isaiah 55:10-13

Psalm 65:1–14 (responses are the even numbered verses)

¹You are to be praised, O God, in Zion;
     to you shall vows be performed in Jerusalem.

²To you that hear prayer shall all flesh come,
     because of their transgressions.

³Our sins are stronger than we are,
     but you will blot them out.

⁴Happy are they whom you choose and draw to your courts to dwell there!
     they will be satisfied by the beauty of your house, by the holiness of your temple.

⁵Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness, O God of our salvation,
     O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are far away.

⁶You make fast the mountains by your power;
     they are girded about with might.

⁷You still the roaring of the seas,
     the roaring of their waves, and the clamor of the peoples.

⁸Those who dwell at the ends of the earth will tremble at your marvelous signs;
     you make the dawn and the dusk to sing for joy.

⁹You visit the earth and water it abundantly; you make it very plenteous;
     the river of God is full of water.

¹⁰You prepare the grain,
     for so you provide for the earth.

¹¹You drench the furrows and smooth out the ridges;
     with heavy rain you soften the ground and bless its increase.

¹²You crown the year with your goodness,
     and your paths overflow with plenty.

¹³May the fields of the wilderness be rich for grazing,
     and the hills be clothed with joy.

¹⁴May the meadows cover themselves with flocks,
and the valleys cloak themselves with grain;
     let them shout for joy and sing.

Romans 8:12-17

Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

The Apostles Creed

I believe in God the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit, and born of the virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended into hell. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen

Offering

Create In Me

Create in me a clean heart, oh God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with your free Spirit.
