Now reading The Screwtape Letters, by C. S. Lewishttps://us02web.zoom.us/j/86085869749 FMI contact Deacon Bryan at [email protected], or 207.333.0695. Why is Christianity the Good News? Scripture and the 39 Articles of Religion show us that in our natural state we are enemies of God. We want to go our own way. We are "dead" in our trespasses and sinful choices unless God intervenes. That's the bad news, and the good news is God has indeed intervened in the person and work of Jesus Christ. By trusting faith in him, and in him alone, we can become children of God, right in position because of what Jesus has done for us.

As we mark the transition in our Federal Government from the Presidency of Joseph Biden to the Presidency of Donald Trump, we off this prayer for our nation:
For Our Country. ALMIGHTY God, who hast given us this good land for our heritage; We humbly beseech thee that we may always prove ourselves a people mindful of thy favour and glad to do thy will. Bless our land with honourable industry, sound learning, and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord, and confusion; from pride and arrogancy, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties, and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindreds and tongues. Endue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in thy Name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to thy law, we may show forth thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity, fill our hearts with thankfulness, and in the day of trouble, suffer not our trust in thee to fail; all which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |

WE beseech thee, Almighty God, look upon the hearty desires of thy humble servants, and stretch forth the right hand of thy Majesty, to be our defense against all our enemies; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. |
