Thoughts for the Day

"I meant to accomplish a good bit today. Instead I keep thinking: Will the next generations of people remember to drain the pipes in the fall? I will leave them a note." - Annie Dillard "If we ask how we are to know where our hearts are, the answer is just as simple - everything which hinders us from loving God above all things and acts as a barrier between ourselves and our obedience to Jesus is our treasure, and the place where our heart is." - Dietrich Bonheoffer "In reality, it is your desire for God and your capacity to reach for more of God than you have right now that is the deepest essence of who you are.” - Ruth Haley Barton

Welcome and Opening Prayer

Songs of Praise Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah

Holy Spirit

Prayer of Confession Almighty and most merciful God, we are thankful that your mercy is higher than the heavens, wider than our wanderings, deeper than all our sin. Forgive our frivolous attitude toward life, our callousness toward suffering, our envy of those who have more than we have, our obsession with creating a life of constant pleasure, our indifference to the treasures of heaven, our neglect of your wise and gracious law. Help us to change our way of life so that we may desire what is good, love what you love, and do what you command. Give us strength and courage to get our priorities straight: help us to seek your kingdom first. Help us also to remember that our best relationship is the one we have with you, We pray in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
