  The Law of God: Matthew 22:37-40
  Corporate Confession of Sin (Unison Prayer)
  Almighty and most merciful God our heavenly Father, we cast ourselves down
  before You under a deep sense of our unworthiness and guilt. We have
  grievously sinned against You, in thought, in word, and in deed. We have come
  short of Your glory. We have broken Your commandments, and turned aside
  every one of us from the way of life. Yet now, O most merciful Father, hear us
  when we call upon You with penitent hearts; and for the sake of Your Son, Jesus
  Christ, have mercy upon us. Pardon our sins, and grant us Your peace. Take
  away our guilt. Purify us, by the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit, from all inward
  uncleanness; and make us able and willing to serve You in newness of life, to
  the glory of Your holy name; through Jesus Christ, our Lord. AMEN.

           Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
           Give us this day our daily bread,
           and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
           And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
           For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever. Amen

           Word & Deed Prayer Update - Ecuador
  The return of in-person schooling in Ecuador was recently delayed
until May, meaning that students will have been out of class for 2
years!
  Word & Deed's partner, Corporacion Mision San Lucas Ecuador, is
ministering to some of these children in Quininde with small groups
coming to the after-school project and with home visits.
  Director Dr. Yeny and some of the staff are dealing with fatigue
due to the after-effects of Omicron.
  Josh Vogel, after spending some time studying Spanish in Quito,
will be moving to Quininde with his family to help further the work
there. Josh is a deacon called by Covenant Christian Church (URC) of
Wyoming, ON.
  Please pray that the Gospel would shine brightly in Ecuador.
