Come and be part of building relational power at Trinity and beyond!
Morning Prayer
(Epiphany 5)
God, I give you thanks this morning
as I watch the beauty of the newborn light,
listen to the first stirrings of a new day in nature,
and ponder the miracle of my own breathing
and your presence in it all.
Open my eyes to your resurrection.
Breathe through me to send life to dry bones.
Amen.
Evening Prayer
(Epiphany 5)
Thank you, God, for the gift of this day-
a day to work, to play, to worship.
As evening comes, it is time to rest.
If, as I review my day, I am tempted to despair,
remind me of the good news I have received,
in which I stand,
through which I am being saved:
Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again.
May I rest in the peace of Christ
and be raised to new life again tomorrow. Amen.
