I could use a few prayers! [View all]

My pastor tested positive for COVID on Friday, after trying to quarantine for a week from the rest of his family (they caught it from the son's teacher, who didn't bother to notify the parents of her students that she was sick!).

So tomorrow morning, I'm running the entire church service on my own. I've been a lay reader/leader many times, I sing in the choir, I've given mission moments and other short speeches, but I've never had to lead the whole thing, write my own prayers and introductions and benediction.

Dear Lord, don't let me screw it up!
