     Gracious Heavenly Father, we come to Your presence this morning with a thankful heart. 
     Lord, pour out Your Spirit, and strengthen us, especially during the time of Communion, as we present ourselves at the altar to receive the sacraments.
     Lord, accept our prayer of humble access and pardon us our sins. Watch over us, we pray; in hours of temptation, so that we may remain under Your care.
     Lord, we commend and pray for all those yet to hear about Your redemption. Let them also be touched by Your hand and blessed.
     Lord, may we continue to have hope and joy in You, and be assured that Your goal for us all is forgiveness of  our sins. Continue to walk with us throughout the week ahead of us. Guard us and guide us.
     In Jesus' name we pray, Amen.

Today's Promise:
for this is my blood of the  covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Matthew 26:28
