God of all that lives,
you call your servants from every nation,
and the gifts of every people bring you glory;
may the burning vision of Samuel Azariah
for the growth and unity of your church
encourage us to preach the gospel
to the people of our day,
that your name be glorified;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer
Our Father,
give us today our daily bread.
God of seed and growth and harvest,
creator of need, creator of satisfaction;
give us, we pray, our daily bread,
sufficient and assured for all.
Give us also, we pray, the bread of life,
and we shall have a care to feed the hungry,
and to seek for peace and justice in the world.
Help us, then, to remember and to know
that you are our life today and every day;
you are the food we need, now and for ever.
Amen.
The Blessing
The Lord bless us,
and preserve us from all evil,
and keep us in eternal life.
Amen.
