Order of Service: - The Office of Prime (Early Morning) (p. 108) - The Versicles and Gloria Patri (p. 108) - The Confession of Sin (p. 109) - Luke 10:38-42: As they went on their way, Jesus came into the village, and a woman named Martha welcomed him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who was sitting at the Lord’s feet and was listening to his Word. But Martha was distracted with all her serving. She came over and said, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Tell her to help me.” The Lord answered and told her, “Martha, Martha, you are worked and upset about many things, but one thing is needed. In fact, Mary has chosen that better part, which will not be taken away from her.” (EHV) - Devotion - Did You Think to Pray: Ere you left your room this morning, Did you think to pray? In the name of Christ our Savior, Did you sue for loving favor, As a shield today? [Chorus] O how praying rests the weary! Prayer will change the night to day; So when life seems dark and dreary, Don't forget to pray. When your heart was filled with anger, Did you think to pray? Did you plead for grace, my brother, That you might forgive another Who had crossed your way? When sore trials came upon you, Did you think to pray? When your soul was bowed in sorrow, Balm of Gilead did you borrow At the gates of day? - Neil Harmon / M.A. Pepper Kidder - The Collect (p. 108) - The Canticle: p. 108 - Hymn 182 - One Thing Needful!
