WE BOW before Thee in united worship, our Father and our God, praising Thee for Thy faithful shepherd care. We thank Thee for every support of life, but especially for Thy Son, our Savior, through Whom we have been made children of God. Take from us the guilt and power of sin. Teach us today our dependence upon Thee. Impart to us faith, patience, love, and hope.

Lift us above living for this world alone. May we as members of the family be helpful one to another in days dark and bright. Deliver us from dangers seen and unseen. And may we so love and serve our fellow men that others may see Thee in us. Hear us on behalf of all who are dear to us by ties of nature or of grace. Heal the sick, comfort the sorrowing, lift the fallen and destroy the works of the devil.

Speed the day when earth's utmost bounds shall hear and turn unto Thee. May Thy people everywhere today live valiantly for God. And so guide us each one, all through life, that we may at last be one unbroken family circle around Thy throne in Glory.

For Jesus' sake. Amen.
