+ In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening:
O God, your never-failing providence
sets in order all things both in heaven and on earth:
Put away from us all hurtful things,
and give us those things that are profitable for us;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.
Then [Jesus] sent them out
to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God
and to heal the sick.
(Luke 9:2)

Psalms Reading: Psalm 30 – Poor Bishop Hooper – (EveryPsalm)
i will exalt you lord my god
for you alone have brought me up
you haven’t made my enemies
to triumph over me
thank you that your anger lasts only a moment
thank you your anger lasts only a moment moment moment
when i cried you healed all my sickness
and brought me from the pit of death
you spared me from my rightful place
so sing all you of faith
thank you that your anger lasts only a moment
thank you your anger lasts only a moment moment moment
his favor lasts a lifetime
though weeping may spend the night
there’ll be joy in the morning
you turned my mourning on into dancing
you stole my clothes of ash
and robed me in gladness
you set me standing up on a mountain
so i will sing your praise
sing your praise
sing your praises forever

OT Reading: 2 Kings 4:32-37 (NLT)
4:32 When Elisha arrived, the child was indeed dead, lying there on the prophet’s bed. He went in alone and shut the door behind him and prayed to the Lord. Then he lay down on the child’s body, placing his mouth on the child’s mouth, his eyes on the child’s eyes, and his hands on the child’s hands. And as he stretched out on him, the child’s body began to grow warm again! Elisha got up, walked back and forth across the room once, and then stretched himself out again on the child. This time the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!
Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. “Call the child’s mother!” he said. And when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!” She fell at his feet and bowed before him, overwhelmed with gratitude. Then she took her son in her arms and carried him downstairs.

NT Reading: Luke 9:1-6 (NLT)
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve Disciples
9:1 One day Jesus called together his twelve disciples and gave them power and authority to cast out all demons and to heal all diseases. Then he sent them out to tell everyone about the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. “Take nothing for your journey,” he instructed them. “Don’t take a walking stick, a traveler’s bag, food, money, or even a change of clothes. Wherever you go, stay in the same house until you leave town. And if a town refuses to welcome you, shake its dust from your feet as you leave to show that you have abandoned those people to their fate.”
So they began their circuit of the villages, preaching the Good News and healing the sick.

+ Almighty God, you alone gave us the breath of life, and you alone can keep alive in us the holy desires you impart. We beseech you, for your compassion’s sake, to sanctify all our thoughts and endeavors, that we may neither begin an action without a pure intention nor continue it without your blessing. And grant that, having the eyes of our mind enlightened to behold things invisible and unseen, we may in heart be inspired by your wisdom, in work be upheld by your strength, and in the end be accepted as your faithful servants; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.
+ Hasten, O Father, the coming of your kingdom; and grant that we your servants, who now live by faith, may with joy behold your Son at his coming in glorious majesty; even Jesus Christ, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.

Let us make our way together, Lord;
Wherever you go I must go:
And through whatever you pass,
There too I will pass.
+ In the Name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
