hymnal 43
1 O day of rest and gladness, O day of joy and light,
O balm of care and sadness, most beautiful, most bright;
On Thee the high and lowly, through ages joined in tune,
Sing Holy, holy,  holy, to the great God Triune.
2 Today on weary nations the heavenly manna falls;
To holy convocations the silver trumpet calls
Where gospel light is glowing with pure and radiant beams,
and living water flowing with soul refreshing streams.
3 New graces ever gaining from this our day of rest
we reach the rest remaining to spirits of the blest
To Holy Ghost be praises, to Father and to Son
The Church her voice up raises to Thee, blest Three in One.


response reading 72. isaiah 58.
PRES: "Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen: to loose the chains of injustice and untie the cords of the yoke,
CONG: to set the oppressed free and break every yoke?
PRES: Is it not to share your food with the hungry and to provide the poor wanderer with shelter--
CONG: when you see the naked, to clothe him, and not to turn away from your own flesh and blood?
PRES: Then your light will break forth like the dawn, and your healing will quickly appear;
CONG: then your righteousness will go before you, and the glory of the LORD will be your rear guard.
PRES: Then you will call, and the LORD will answer;
CONG: you will cry for help, and he will say: Here am I.
PRES: "If you do away with the yoke of oppression, with the pointing finger and malicious talk,
CONG: and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed,
PRES: then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday.
CONG: The LORD will guide you always; he will satisfy your needs in a sun-scorched land and will strengthen your frame. You will be like a well-watered garden, like a spring whose waters never fail.""


Apostle's Creed
I believe in God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, His Only Son our Lord,
who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried;
He descended into hell; The third day He rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in The Holy Ghost, The Holy Catholic Church,
The Communion of Saints, The forgiveness of sin,
The resurrection of the body, And the life everlasting. Amen.


Hymnal 1

hymnal 510
1 Brightly beams our FAther's mercy from His lighthouse evermore,
But to us He gives the keeping of the lights along the shore.
Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman you may rescue, you may save.
2 Dark the night of sin has settled, loud the angry billows roar;
eager eyes are watching, longing, for the lights along the shore.
Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman you may rescue, you may save.
3 Trim your feeble lamp, my brother; some poor sailor, tempest tossed,
Trying now to make the harbor, in the darkness may be lost.
Let the lower lights be burning! Send a gleam across the wave!
Some poor fainting, struggling seaman you may rescue, you may save.


Passage: Matthew 28:16-20
16 Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go.
17 When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted.
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, "All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me.
19 Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,
20 and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."""

hymnal 221
1 Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love:
The fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.
2 Before our Father's throne we pour our ardent prayers;
Our fears, our hopes, our aims are one, our comforts and our cares.
3 We share each other's woes, each other's burdens bear,
and often for each other flows the sympathizing tear.
4 When we asunder part, it gives us inward pain;
but we shall still be joined in heart, and hope to meet again.
