please help us all to use this time
to prayerfully examine our way of life and our commitment to You.

Let them all praise the name of the LORD!
His name is greater than all others;
his glory is above earth and heaven

O LORD, hear our evening prayers we ask
As we thank you for the blessings of this Sunday
As we believe and trust in you
Confessing our sins
Receiving your cleansing
As we pilgrimage on towards tomorrow
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
