SHANE:
Let us Pray,
Dear Heavenly Father, We thank you for bringing us together today to celebrate
our commonalities as well as our differences. Thank you for your everlasting
presence, even when we stray from you. We pray for those affected by the recent
bombing in Boston and ask that you help them through this tough time. Help those
who are hurt to heal, those who are feel shadowed to see you, and give us the
strength to come back to you when it is needed.
In Your name we pray,
Amen
DYLAN:
PSALM 30:4-12
4Sing the praises of the LORD, you his faithful people;
praise his holy name.
5For his anger lasts only a moment,
but his favor lasts a lifetime;
weeping may stay for the night,
but rejoicing comes in the morning.
6 When I felt secure, I said,
“I will never be shaken.”
7 LORD, when you favored me,
you made my royal mountain[c] stand firm;
but when you hid your face,
I was dismayed.
8 To you, LORD, I called;
to the Lord I cried for mercy:
9 “What is gained if I am silenced,
if I go down to the pit?
Will the dust praise you?
Will it proclaim your faithfulness?
10 Hear, LORD, and be merciful to me;
LORD, be my help.”
11 You turned my wailing into dancing;
you removed my sackcloth and clothed me with joy,
12 that my heart may sing your praises and not be silent.
LORD my God, I will praise you forever.
