Morning & Night Prayer

 If you would like to join with us, we are saying Morning Prayer at 9.00am Monday to Saturday and Night Prayer at 9.00pm Monday to Saturday.  Whenever you are able, why not say it at the same time as we do, then we will be joining together in prayer and worship. 

The Worship at Home Booklet can be found here.

READINGS FOR NIGHT PRAYER: after the Day of Pentecost
Short Reading:
Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that he may exalt you in due time.  Cast all your anxiety on him, because he care for you.      1 Peter 5. 6,7

Psalm: Psalm 4
1    Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;  ♦
you set me at liberty when I was in trouble; have mercy on me and hear my prayer.
2    How long will you nobles dishonour my glory;  ♦
how long will you love vain things and seek after falsehood?
3    But know that the Lord has shown me his marvellous kindness;  ♦
when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me.
4    Stand in awe, and sin not;  ♦
commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still.
5    Offer the sacrifices of righteousness  ♦
and put your trust in the Lord.
6    There are many that say, ‘Who will show us any good?’  ♦
Lord, lift up the light of your countenance upon us.
7    You have put gladness in my heart,  ♦
more than when their corn and wine and oil increase.
8    In peace I will lie down and sleep,  ♦
for it is you Lord, only, who make me dwell in safety.

 
Collect:
Look down, O God, from your heavenly throne,
illuminate the darkness of this night with your celestial brightness,
and from the children of light banish the deeds of darkness;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen
