  40. RECOGNITION OF ORDINATIONS AND ANNIVERSARIES Tuesday 6:30 p.m.

  41. CLOSING PRAYER O God of all grace and mercy, You have called me, a poor, unworthy sinner, to be a servant of Your Word. You have placed me into the office that preaches reconciliation and given me this flock to feed. In and of myself, I am wholly incompetent to perform the work of this great office. Therefore, by Your grace make me an able minister of Your Church. Give me Your Holy Spirit, the

  42. Spirit of wisdom and knowledge, of grace and prayer, of power and strength, of sanctification and the fear of God. Fill me with the right knowledge of Your Word, and open my lips that my mouth may proclaim the honor of Your name. Fill my heart with a passion for seeking the lost and with skillfulness to give to the lambs and sheep entrusted to my care what each one needs at the proper time. Give me at all times sound words, and empower me to perform just works. Whenever I overlook something or, in

  43. the weakness of my flesh, speak or act wrongly, O Lord, set it aright, and grant that no one may suffer eternal harm through me. All this I ask of You through the merits of Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
