Theme: Lent – A time of Reconciliation
COLLECT FOR THE WEEK : Gracious God, who loved us in Jesus
Christ our Lord, give readiness and courage to reconcile with you
all people and whole creation, transcending our barriers and
boundaries. Let the time of Lent refresh us with a new perspective
of looking at the Cross of Christ, through which you have
reconciled us and the whole creation. Strengthen us with your Spirit
so that we may become your channels of reconciliation. Through
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and ever. AMEN.

: Psalm 85 – Miss. Petenoune Pieny
1. Lord, you were favorable to your land;
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
2. You forgave the iniquity of your people;
you covered all their sin.
3. You withdrew all your wrath;
you turn from your hot anger.
4. Restore us again, O God of our salvation,
and put away your indignation toward us!
5. Will you be angry with us forever?
Will you prolong your anger to all generations?
6. Will you not revive us again,
that your people may rejoice in you?
7. Show us your steadfast love, O Lord,
and grant us your salvation.
2
8. Let me hear what God the Lord will speak,
for he will speak peace to his people,
to his saints; but let them not turn back to folly.
9. Surely his salvation is near to those who fear him,
that glory may dwell in our land.
10. Steadfast love and faithfulness meet;
righteousness and peace kiss each other.
11. Faithfulness springs up from the ground,
and righteousness looks down from the sky.
12. Yes, the Lord will give what is good,
and our land will yield its increase.
13. Righteousness will go before him
and make his footsteps a way.
