Let us seek the Lord while he may be found. Let us call upon him while he is near.
Let us return to the Lord, that he may have mercy on us; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. Amen.

The Fellowship of the Word and the Table
Scripture Reading
Romans 13:11-14
11 Besides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; 12the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; 13let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarrelling and jealousy. 14Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
