May He be glorified in the assembling together of His church on the first Sunday of the new year and we will also need what He has for us in the evening service - Psalm 90.

Article 30: The Government of the Church
We believe that this true church
ought to be governed according to the spiritual order
that our Lord has taught us in his Word.
There should be ministers or pastors
to preach the Word of God
and administer the sacraments.
There should also be elders and deacons,
along with the pastors,
> to make up the council of the church.
By this means
true religion is preserved;
true doctrine is able to take its course;
and evil men are corrected spiritually and held in check,
so that also the poor
and all the afflicted
may be helped and comforted
> according to their need.
By this means
everything will be done well
and in good order
in the church,
when such men are elected
who are faithful
and are chosen according to the rule
that Paul gave to Timothy.76
1 Timothy. 3
