Almighty God,
fount of all wisdom, crown of all knowledge;
give us eyes to see
and minds to understand your marvellous works,
that we may know you through your handiwork
and use your creation to your glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - The 3 Great Pilgrimages
14“There are three annual religious pilgrimages you must make.a
15“The first is the Pilgrimage of Unleavened Bread, when for seven days you are not to eat bread with yeast, just as I commanded you before. This celebration is to be an annual event at the regular time in March, the month you left Egypt; everyone must bring me a sacrifice at that time. 16Then there is the Harvest Pilgrimage, when you must bring to me the first of your crops. And, finally, the Pilgrimage of Ingathering at the end of the harvest season. 17At these three times each year, every man in Israel shall appear before the Lord God.

19“As you reap each of your crops, bring me the choicest sample of the first day’s harvest; it shall be offered to the Lord your God.b
. . . . .Exodus 23:14-17,19- Or “feasts you must celebrate.”
- Literally, “you shall bring (it) into the house of Jehovah your God.”
God set us free to worship without fear;*
holy and righteous all the days of our life.
