Remember those who rule over you, who have spoken the word of God to you, whose faith follow, considering the outcome of their conduct. Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Do not be carried about with various and strange doctrines. For it is good that the heart be established by grace, not with foods which have not profited those who have been occupied with them.

The Prayer of Confession (after silent confession)

All: Blessed are you O Lord God of Israel, for you have visited and redeemed your people. You have raised up a horn of salvation for us In the house of your servant David. Through the Christ you have saved us from our enemies and performed the mercy promised to us. You have remembered your holy covenant, the oath which you swore to Abraham: To grant us that we, being delivered from the hand of our enemies, might serve you without fear, in holiness and righteousness before you all the days of our life. You have given the knowledge of salvation to us by the remission of our sins, through your tender mercy. The Dayspring from on high has visited us; to give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death. Lord, guide our feet into the way of peace. Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. (Luke 1:68-79)
