THE PRAYER OF THE DAY: Almighty Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and love to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation and preservation, for the return of planting and harvest seasons, for the fertility of the soil, for the harvesting of the crops, and for all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord, Jesus Christ. Give us such an awareness of your mercies that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but also by giving up ourselves to your service in lives which will be respectful, holy and obedient to you throughout all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen!
RESPONSIVE READING: PSALM 100
P. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all you lands!
C. Serve the Lord with gladness; come into God’s presence with a song.
P. Know that the Lord is God, our maker to whom we belong;
C. We are God’s people and the sheep of God’s pasture.
P. Enter the gates of the Lord with thanksgiving and the courts with praise;
C. Give thanks and bless God’s holy name.
P. Good indeed is the Lord, whose steadfast love is everlasting,
C. Whose faithfulness endures from age to age.
