Morning Prayer: Armor of Light | First Week of Advent

This is the first week of Advent in the Church Calendar.  Our general order comes from the Book of Common Prayer (1979) Daily Office and Scripture readings from the Revised Common Lectionary. We’ll sing “Come Thou Long Expected Jesus” by Charles Wesley and Rowland Prichard and “I Love Your Presence” by Darren Clarke and Jessie Clarke throughout today’s time of prayer. We’ll read Psalm 25:1-9 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Gospel reading is Luke 21:25-36 . We’ll say the Apostles’ Creed, the Lord’s Prayer, and the Collect of the Day. We’ll then have a time of prompted prayer. If you have a prayer request please submit it here (https://benwardmusic.com/prayerrequest/).
