Hymn 532 Gather Us In Prayer
 
* First Reading: First Corinthians 1:1-9

Paul, called to be an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and our brother Sosthenes, 2To the church of God that is in Corinth, to those who are sanctified in Christ Jesus, called to be saints, together with all those who in every place call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, both their Lord and ours: 3Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
 4I give thanks to my God always for you because of the grace of God that has been given you in Christ Jesus, 5for in every way you have been enriched in him, in speech and knowledge of every kind, 6just as the testimony of Christ has been strengthened among you, 7so that you are not lacking in any spiritual gift as you wait for the revealing of our Lord Jesus Christ. 8He will also strengthen you to the end, so that you may be blameless on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. 9God is faithful; by him you were called into the fellowship of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

Word of God. Word of life.

Thanks be to God!
 
Psalm 40:1-10 (chanted responsively)

 1I waited patiently up- | on the Lord,
  who stooped to me and | heard my cry.
 2The Lord lifted me out of the desolate pit, out of the | miry clay,
  and set my feet upon a high cliff, making my | footing sure.
 3The Lord put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise | to our God;
  many shall see, and stand in awe, and put their trust | in the Lord.
 4Happy are they who trust | in the Lord!
  They do not turn to enemies or to those who | follow lies. 
 5Great are the wonders you have done, O Lord my God! In your plans for us,    
         none can be com- | pared with you! Oh, that I could make them known and
         tell them! But they are more than | I can count.
 6Sacrifice and offering you do | not desire; you have opened my ears:
         burnt-offering and sin-offering you have | not required. 
 7And so I said, “Here I | am; I come.
  In the scroll of the book it is writ- | ten of me:
 8‘I love to do your will, | O my God;
  your law is | deep within me.’ ”
 9I proclaimed righteousness in the | great assembly;
  I have not restrained my lips, O | Lord, you know.
 10I have not hidden your righteousness in my heart; I have spoken of your
        faithfulness and | your deliverance; I have not concealed your steadfast
        love and truth from the | great assembly.
