Gracious Lord, by your Spirit you have united us to yourself. Grant that your people may rejoice this day in your presence. Be with us and be pleased with our worship. Amen.
TV: Tool of State’s Totalitarian Democracy
This article is brief and written by someone I have never met or read before, but I have a feeling he is a disciple of Neil Postman…so that makes him a friend.

Preparatory Prayer for the Sabbath
Our Gracious God, We ask nothing of you except that you calm and search our hearts today so that by Your Spirit we may be hopeful people as we seek earnestly to hear Your Word and to eat of your body and blood. As Augustine once stated “our souls are restless until they find our rest in You.” May our minds and hearts be perturbed until we repent of our sins and confess You as our Lord today.
