Psalm 105 | Background |
Give thanks to the LORD and call upon his Name; *

make known his deeds among the peoples.

Sing to him, sing praises to him, *

and speak of all his marvelous works.

Glory in his holy Name; *

let the hearts of those who seek the LORD rejoice.

Search for the LORD and his strength; *

continually seek his face.

Remember the marvels he has done, *

his wonders and the judgments of his mouth.

Romans 5 | Paul continues to write …

We have been given the gift of being made right with God through
Our Lord Jesus Christ; given to us freely; for while we were still
weak God saved the ungodly; yet we were still sinners God saved
us through the act of our Lord Jesus Christ, we should boost of
this salvation!

Matthew 20

3 things: Jesus predicts to his disciples his death and resurrection
for the 3rd time in Matthew. The mother of James and John asks
they be given power in Jesus future kingdom - they will but not
like you thing. To be a leader in the Church you must be a servant
to all. - Jesus inverses the thought of ruling His Kingdom through
service, sacrificed, and faith even in suffering.

Prayers and Intercessions
Collect
O Lord, make us have perpetual love and reverence for your holy Name,
for you never fail to help and govern those whom you have set upon the
sure foundation of your loving-kindness; through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and
ever. Amen.

For a Clear Voice
Please God, now we need a voice, a clear voice, one that speaks
in truth and common sense, not shouting, not evading, but telling
us, all of us, no matter what our opinions, telling us how to find
our way back, how to return to what is the best of us, speaking in
compassion, speaking with invitation, but clear, determined, hopeful,
a voice we can trust, that we can believe in, because it does not take
sides, but stands in the center, at the heart, where our shared
hope first began, where all people may gather, please God, we need
that voice and we need it now.

For Peace Among Nations
Almighty God our heavenly Father,
guide the nations of the world  
into the way of justice and truth,
and establish among them that peace
which is the fruit of righteousness,
that they may become the kingdom
of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Glory to God whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than
we can ask or imagine: Glory to him from generation to generation in
the Church, and in Christ Jesus for ever and ever. Amen.     
Ephesians 3:20,21
