Collect
O God, who in the work of creation
commanded the light to shine out of darkness:
we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
may shine into the hearts of all your people,
dispelling the darkness of ignorance and unbelief
and revealing to them the knowledge of your glory
in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.
New Testament Reading - Partners in the Lord's Work
5Dear friend, you are doing a good work for God in taking care of the traveling teachers and missionaries who are passing through. 6They have told the church here of your friendship and your loving deeds. I am glad when you send them on their way with a generous gift. 7For they are traveling for the Lord and take neither food, clothing, shelter, nor money from those who are not Christians, even though they have preached to them. 8So we ourselves should take care of them in order that we may become partners with them in the Lord’s work.

Prayer
Our Father,
save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
Dear Lord,
watch with those who wake or watch or weep tonight,
and give your angels charge over those who sleep;
tend your sick ones,
rest your afflicted ones, shield your joyous ones,
and all, for your love’s sake.
Amen
