Morning Prayer And Worship

Thanks for praying and worshiping with me today. As always, our Scripture readings and general order come from the Book of Common Prayer (1979) Daily Office. In the Church calendar, it is Ordinary Time, Proper 22. We'll begin by singing "I Need You, Lord" written by me in 1998 or so. We'll then read Psalm 80:7-14 followed by the Gloria Patri. Our Gospel reading is Matthew 21:33-46. After the Apostles' Creed, the Lord's Prayer, and the Collect of the Day, we'll have a time of guided prayer. I took today's photo at the Cathedral of St. Philip in Atlanta, GA. If you have a prayer request please submit it at https://benwardmusic.com/prayerrequest.
