From the Scriptures
Behold, how good and joyful a thing it is, for brethren to dwell together in unity!
It is like the precious oil upon the head, that ran down unto the beard, even unto Aaron's beard, and went down to the skirts of his clothing.
Like as the dew of Hermon, which fell upon the hill of Sion.
For there the LORD promised his blessing, and life for evermore.
Psalm 133 (Coverdale)
A Guiding Prayer
Almighty God, who by thy Son Jesus Christ didst give commandment to the Apostles that they should go into all the world, and preach the Gospel to every creature: Grant to us whom thou hast called into thy Church, a ready will to obey thy Word; and fill us with a hearty desire to make thy way known upon earth, thy saving health among all nations; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A Heritage Reflection
"Christ was sent, as the Scripture many times tells us, not to preach his own will, but his Father's; 'As My Father said unto Me, so I speak.' Nor were the Apostles sent to preach what they would themselves, but whatsoever Christ had commanded them; that they, which preach as voluntary as the organ plays, or the sudden motions of a spirit, as their fancy leads them that call it speaking by the Spirit when never a wise word is spoken, and they which preach us up new doctrines, or a new faith, which was never heard on since the world began afore, may go seek some other commission to make good what they do, for from Christ here have they none."
