W Invocation
Almighty and merciful God, to whom the
light and the darkness are both alike,
and without whom nothing befalls thy
children: Strengthen us to meet all
the experiences of life with a steadfast and undaunted heart; help us to go
on our way bravely whether it be rough or smooth and, when the mists hide
thy face, to continue patiently till they are dispersed by the sun of thy
unchanging love; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

W Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God the Father
Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ his only begotten Son, our Lord; who was
conceived by
the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
Pilate, was
crucified, dead, and buried; he descended
to the dead. On the third day he
rose again; is seated at the right hand of the Father, and 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.

Patri No.

Collect
O God, we know that no prayer is ever
unanswered, but in your time and way,
and according to your will. Help us to pray like Jesus and to be
steadfast in
seeking to hear and to understand your will and your word for us
each day, so
that our lives may show forth the yearnings
of your heart. We ask these things
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
