but to love things heavenly; and even now, while we are
placed among things that are passing away, to hold
fast to those that shall endure; through Jesus Christ
our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore:
Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you,
all tongues confess and bless you, and men and women
everywhere love you and serve you in peace; through
Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

For Our Ministry

You give us hope when hope is gone. You give of strength to
carry on. Amen
