the Lord!” Our feet have been standing within your gates, O Jerusalem!

PEOPLE: FOR A DAY IN YOUR COURTS IS BETTER THAN A THOUSAND ELSEWHERE, I WOULD RATHERBE A DOORKEEPER IN THE HOUSE OF MY GOD THAN TO DWELL IN THE TENTS OF WICKEDNESS

Leader: For the sake of the house of the Lord our God, I will seek your good.

PEOPLE: THEY ARE PLANTED IN THE HOUSE OF THE LORD, THEY FLOURISH IN THE COURTS OF OUR GOD.

Leader: Oh Lord, I love the habitation of your house, and the place where your glory dwells.

PEOPLE: BUT THE LORD IS IN HIS HOLY TEMPLE; LET ALL THE EARTH KEEP SILENCE BEFORE HIM.

Leader: Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer.

PEOPLE: O SING TO THE LORD A NEW SONG, FOR HE HAS DONE MARVELOUS THINGS! MAKE A JOYFUL NOISE TO THE LORD, ALL THE EARTH, SING PRAISES.

THE APOSTLE’S CREED:

I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ his only son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead; and buried. The third day He arose from the dead, He ascended into Heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty; from thence He shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

HEALTH CORNERSTEPS TO BUILDING BETTER RELATIONSHIPS IN 2019

We’re approaching the end of the first quarter of the New Year. You probably have abandoned your New Year’s resolutions and you’re trying to erase your Christmas debt. In terms of your emotional health and wellness, these tips taken from a New York Times article (12/26/18) should turn your attention to building better relationships in 2019.Become a More Patient Person: Patience, the ability to keep calm in the face of disappointment, distress or suffering, is worth cultivating.Revive an Old Friendship: Studies show that high-quality friendships provide many positive health benefits. Stop Being So Hard on Yourself: “Core to self-compassion is to avoid getting caught up in our mistakes and obsessing about them until we degrade ourselves.”Navigate the Financial Side of a Relationship: Your attitude about money begins in childhood, starting with your parents’ behavior around spending and saving, experts said. A budget can seem like drudgery: a forced diet on your spending buffet. But budgets aren’t just about reining in your wallet; they’re also about deciding where your money will go, road maps to shared destinations.Your Wayman health ministry hopes this guide to building better relationships will lead to positive outcomes with your physical, emotional and spiritual health.
