Our help is in the name of the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.Congregational Prayer: Father God you are the creator of rest, beauty, and life. In you wefind goodness and our fulfillment. Reign down your love on us today. May we feel it in bothour body and soul. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
