Opening Prayer: Almighty God, You have erased all the obstacles standing between me and You. May I live free from fear that those obstacles would come back to separate us. Amen.

Psalm 85

Read: Luke 21:25-36

Prayer: for the church, for others, for myself.

Hymn: “Of the Father’s Love Begotten”
Of the Father’s love begotten,
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega-
He the Source, the Ending He,
Of the things that are, that have been,
And that future years shall see,
Evermore and Evermore!

O that birth forever blessed,
When the Virgin, full of grace,
By the Holy Ghost conceiving,
Bare the Savior of our race;
And the Babe, the world’s Redeemer,
First revealed His sacred face,
Evermore and Evermore!

Christ, to Thee of God and Father,
And, O Holy Ghost, to Thee,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory,
Evermore and evermore!

Closing Prayer: Lord, allow me, your servant, to go in peace. I have experienced your salvation that you have prepared for everyone. Uphold me as I seek to serve in your name. Amen.
