Prayer
Give understanding to your little ones.
Give help to those who are faithfully running their course.
Give penitence to those who have been negligent.
Give fervour to the tepid.
And give to all a blessed end in You.

Scripture Reading
Matt 12:43-45 (NRSV)
43 “When the unclean spirit has gone out of a person, it wanders through waterless regions looking for a resting place, but it finds none. 44 Then it says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ When it comes, it finds it empty, swept, and put in order. 45 Then it goes and brings along seven other spirits more evil than itself, and they enter and live there; and the last state of that person is worse than the first. So will it be also with this evil generation.”
Hymn: “It is Well With My Soul”
Sermon: "An Empty House"
Rev. Steve Zink
