Opening Prayer | O Lord Hear My Prayer (Pluralized)
Text: Psalm 102 (revised) | Tune: Jacques Berthier | © 1982 Taizé Community
O Lord hear our prayer, O Lord hear our prayer
When we call answer us
O Lord hear our prayer, O Lord hear our prayer
Come and listen to us
Psalm 126 (Although We are Weeping)
Bifrost Arts Music | from He Will Not Cry Out, 2013
Our mouths they were filled, filled with laughter
Our tongues they were loosed, loosed with joy
Restore us O Lord, restore us O Lord
Although we are weeping
Lord help us keep sowing
The seeds of your Kingdom
For the day you will reap them
Your sheaves we will carry
Lord please do not tarry
All those who sow weeping
Will go out with songs of joy
The nations will say, "He has done great things!"
The nations will sing songs of joy
Restore us O Lord, restore us O Lord
Silence
Prayers of the People
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
Prayer | Expressions of Faith
From the Evening Prayer in Celtic Daily Prayer
Lord, you have always given bread for the coming day;
and though I am poor, today I believe.
Lord, you have always given strength for the coming day;
and though I am weak, today I believe.
Lord, you have always given peace for the coming day;
and though of anxious heart, today I believe.
Lord, you have always kept me safe in trials;
and now, tried as I am, today I believe.
Lord, you have always marked the road for the coming day;
and though it may be hidden, today I believe.
Lord, you have always lightened this darkness of mine;
and though the night is here, today I believe.
Lord, you have always spoken when time was ripe;
and though you be silent now, today I believe. Amen.
The Solid Rock
Text: Edward Mote | Tune (Solid Rock): William B. Bradbury
My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness
I dare not trust the sweetest frame
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name
When darkness seems to hide his face
I rest on his unchanging grace
In every high and stormy gale
My anchor holds within the veil
On Christ the Solid Rock I stand
All other ground is sinking sand
All other ground is sinking sand
His oath, his covenant, his blood
Support me in the whelming flood
When all around my soul gives way
He then is all my hope and stay
When he shall come with trumpet sound
Oh, may I then in him be found
Dressed in his righteousness alone
Faultless to stand before the throne
O Lord Hear My Prayer (Alternate Verse)
The Lord is our praise, the Lord is our song
All our hope comes from God
The Lord is our praise, the Lord is our song
God, the well-spring of life
Scripture | Luke 8:40-48 (NRSV)
Now when Jesus returned, the crowd welcomed him, for they were all waiting for him. Just then there came a man named Jairus, a leader of the synagogue. He fell at Jesus’ feet and begged him to come to his house, for he had an only daughter, about twelve years old, who was dying.
As he went, the crowds pressed in on him. Now there was a woman who had been suffering from hemorrhages for twelve years; and though she had spent all she had on physicians, no one could cure her. She came up behind him and touched the fringe of his clothes, and immediately her hemorrhage stopped. Then Jesus asked, “Who touched me?” When all denied it, Peter said, “Master, the crowds surround you and press in on you.” But Jesus said, “Someone touched me; for I noticed that power had gone out from me.” When the woman saw that she could not remain hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before him, she declared in the presence of all the people why she had touched him, and how she had been immediately healed. He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well; go in peace.”

Give ourselves for one another
