PSALM 119
[R] Happy are they who walk in the law of the Lord
Blessed are those whose way is pure,who walk in the law of the Lord. Blessed are those who keep his testimoniesand seek him with their whole heart. [R]
Those who do no wickedness, but walk in his ways. You, O Lord, have chargedthat we should diligently keep your commandments. [R]
O that my ways were made so directthat I might keep your statutes. Then should I not be put to shame,because I have regard for all your commandments. [R]
I will thank you with an unfeigned heart,when I have learned your righteous judgements. I will keep your statutes;O forsake me not utterly.

Pray for Schools
Revd. Luke is keen to gather a group of people to meet regularly to pray for the schools in our parish and to begin to discern how God might want us to move forward in our schools ministry. If you are interested in making a small commitment to regular prayer and intercession for our schools, (probably meeting every other month) then please speak to Luke.
