Philippians 4:6 Don’t be anxious about anything; rather,

bring up all of your requests to God in your prayers and

petitions, along with giving thanks.

Proverbs 3:5 Trust in the Lord with all your heart; don’t

rely on your own intelligence.

Philippians 4:13 I can endure all these things through the

power of the one who gives me strength.

Galatians 6:2-10 2 Carry each other’s burdens and so you

will fulfill the law of Christ. 3 If anyone thinks they are im-

portant when they aren’t, they’re fooling themselves. 4 Each person should test their own work and be happy

with doing a good job and not compare themselves with

others. 5 Each person will have to carry their own load. 6 Those who are taught the word should share all good

things with their teacher. 7 Make no mistake, God is not

mocked. A person will harvest what they plant. 8 Those

who plant only for their own benefit will harvest devasta-

tion from their selfishness, but those who plant for the

benefit of the Spirit will harvest eternal life from the Spirit. 9 Let’s not get tired of doing good, because in time we’ll

have a harvest if we don’t give up. 10 So then, let’s work

for the good of all whenever we have an opportunity,

and especially for those in the household of faith.

Stephen Ministry A Ministry of Christ caring for people through people.

“Let us not love with words, but with actions and in truth.”

Hymn of Praise

“Eternal Father, Strong To Save”

Veterans Day Litany A Litany from The Book of Worship for United States Forces (1974)

Leader: Let us give thanks to God for the land of our birth

with all its chartered liberties for all the wonder of our

country's story:

People: We give You thanks, O God. Leader: For leaders in nation and state, and for those who

in days past and in these present times have

labored bored for the commonwealth:

People: We give You thanks, O God.

Leader: For those who in all times and places have been

true and brave, and in the worlds common ways have

lived upright lives and ministered to their fellows:

People: We give You thanks, O God.

Leader: For those who served their country in its hour of

need, and especially for those who gave even their lives

in that service

People: We give You thanks, O God.

Leader: O almighty God and most merciful Father, as we

remember these your servants, remembering with grat-

itude their courage and strength, we hold before you

those who mourn them. Look upon your bereaved

Servants with your mercy. As this day brings them

memories of those they have lost awhile, may it also bring

your consolation and the assurance that their loved ones are

alive now and forever in your living presence.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory

forever. Amen.
