Grant us grace to worship you in Spirit and in truth, to the comfort of our souls and the upbuilding of every good purpose and holy desire. Enable us to do more perfectly the work to which you have called us, that we may not fear the coming of night, when we shall resign into your hands the tasks which you have committed to us. So may we worship you not with our lips at this hour, but in word and deed all the days of our lives; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

From Disney-Pixar comes "Up," a comedy adventure
about 78-year-old balloon salesman Carl
Fredricksen, who finally fulfills his lifelong dream of
a great adventure when he ties thousands of
balloons to his house and flies away to the wilds of
South America. But he discovers all too late that his
biggest nightmare has stowed away on the trip: an overly optimistic eight-year-old
Wilderness Explorer named Russell.
