Resources
Living Our Christian Life
The life and ministry of a Christian is an everyday pilgrimage with Jesus Christ. One of the most important things to remember is that we don't walk alone. Not only does Jesus walk with us but we have our brothers and sisters in Christ. We pray together, learn from each other, and encourage one another to live out our faith. On this page, we will share resources to help you pray and grow in your faith. Check back often!

​In the Morning
​​
From Psalm 51
Open my lips, O Lord, * and my mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, * and renew a right spirit within me.
Cast me not away from your presence * and take not your holy Spirit from me.
Give me the joy of your saving help again * and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: * as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
The Collect
Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought

purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

From the rising of the sun to its going down * let the Name of the LORD be praised.
The LORD is high above all nations, * and his glory above the heavens.
