Serving God with His people at Faith OPC has been a great joy and blessing. When I grow up, I want to umpire Little League Baseball. I will revel on that day when I can say to a 10-year-old boy after four pitched balls, "Take a walk in the sunshine." My wife of 30+ years, Peggy, consistently demonstrates the love of Christ and remains my very best friend. Our six children, our four lovely, sweetie-pie daughters-in-law, and our four grandchildren serve as resident theologians.

Other Prayers

A Lutheran Prayer Book, 1960

O GOD, who givest daily bread without prayer, even to all the wicked, we pray thee that thou wouldst give us to acknowledge these thy benefits; and enable us to receive our daily bread with thanksgiving. Amen.

O MERCIFUL, PATIENT FATHER, who dost protect and preserve us, guide us by thy grace and banish the blindness of the world and our minds, that we may apply ourselves wholly to the keeping of thy commandments, and do our work without care, like the birds of the air and the lilies of the field, because thou hast promised to care for us and bade us cast all our cares on thee, who livest and reignest for ever. Amen.

THE LORD preserve us from all evil. The Lord preserve our souls. The Lord preserve our going out and our coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore. Amen.

G. Mark Sumpter
