Prayer
Praise and glory to you creator Spirit of God;
Like the dawn
you illuminate the world around us;
you grant us a new beginning every day.
Be with us Holy Spirit in all we say or think,
in all we do this and every day.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Bringers of good news


7How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of those who bring the happy news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel reigns. 8The watchmen shout and sing with joy, for right before their eyes they see the Lord God bring his people home again. 9Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyous song, for the Lord has comforted his people; he has redeemed Jerusalem. 10The Lord has bared his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
. . . . .Isaiah 52:7-10Christ gave them as a light to the nations,*
that Christ’s salvation might reach to the ends of the earth.
