God of the vast Pacific and of its many islands,
blessed are you in Charles the scholar missionary;
may the church he fostered,
voyage after voyage, year upon year,
go on from strength to strength.
Amen.
New Testament Reading - Serve others

7The end of the world is coming soon. Therefore be earnest, thoughtful men of prayer. 8Most important of all, continue to show deep love for each other, for love makes up for many of your faults.a 9Cheerfully share your home with those who need a meal or a place to stay for the night.
10God has given each of you some special abilities; be sure to use them to help each other, passing on to others God’s many kinds of blessings. 11Are you called to preach? Then preach as though God himself were speaking through you. Are you called to help others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies so that God will be glorified through Jesus Christ — to him be glory and power forever and ever. Amen.
. . . . .1 Peter 4:7-11- Or “love overlooks each other’s many faults.”

Prayer
Our Father,
save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
Giver of the present, hope for the future:
save us from the time of trial.
When prophets warn us of doom,
of catastrophe and of suffering beyond belief,
then, God, free us from our helplessness,
and deliver us from evil.
Save us from our arrogance and folly,
for you are God who created the world;
you have redeemed us and you are our salvation.
Amen
