God of all creation, who dost call us to make disciples of all nations and to proclaim thy mercy and love: Grant that we, after the example of thy servant Julia Chester Emery, might have vision and courage in proclaiming the Gospel to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ, our light and our salvation, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, ever one God, world without end. Amen.

Julia Chester Emery was National Secretary of the Women's Auxiliary of the Board of Missions 1876-1916 and founder of United Thank Offering which supports innovative mission & ministry throughout The Episcopal Church & Provinces of the Anglican Communion: https://t.co/pJsWB7eEvT pic.twitter.com/o5SF575i69

Almighty Lord God, who didst give thy Son Jesus Christ to be the light of the world: We praise and magnify thy holy name that in him thou hast revealed the wonder of thy saving love to men. With those of old who brought their tribute to his feet, confessing him as King of heaven and earth, we now present the worship of our grateful hearts, beseeching thee to give us grace to give ourselves to thee; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord.

I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help.

My help cometh from the Lord, which made heaven and earth.

He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

Behold, he that keepeth Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep.

The Lord is thy keeper: the Lord is thy shade upon thy right hand.

The sun shall not smite thee by day, nor the moon by night.

The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: he shall preserve thy soul.

The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.

–Psalm 121 (KJV)

Each morning we like to throw open a window into the National Park and share some of its special qualities and best views. Like this view of the sun coming up over Wensleydale.#YorkshireDales #Wensleydale pic.twitter.com/M7seRIR3wd
