CHAPEL EVENING PRAYER - WEDNESDAY, JAN 15 AT 8:15 PM

Chapel Evening Prayer is a 30-minute service historically known as “Prayer at the Close of Day." This service is an ancient order of worship called Compline and was the final service of the day before one retires for the night. The congregation gathers in silence. Pre-service music may be omitted, and the lighting is subdued. This is a time for prayer and meditation and includes hymns, psalms, lessons & prayer focused on bringing peace and balance to the soul after a long and challenging day.

WEEKLY ANNOUNCEMENTS

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Lord, at the beginning of this year we need you. Our days are written in your book and only you know if I shall live through this year that has just begun. Be merciful to me and forgive me all my sins. Bless my body and soul, my property, and my honor. Renew in me the knowledge of the promise you made to me at my baptism, so that I may have childlike assurance throughout this year that you will never forget me. Allow me, to the best of my ability, to live a year of service to you. Let this year be one which draws me closer to you as I serve my Savior Jesus. Amen.
