Morning Prayer and Worship

Religion EN ↓ 875 episodes

Join me, Ben Ward, as we pray, sing, and worship together. We'll read a Psalm and Scripture passage from the Daily Office in the Book of Common Prayer. We'll also say the Apostles' Creed and Lord's Prayer as we pray for ourselves and others and give thanks to Jesus. All accompanied by my guitar. Monday through Friday from Mobile, Alabama, USA.
