Instructions, 1866

 

Family worship should be observed daily in every household, when the following prayers may be used in connection with the reading of a portion of Scripture. It is recommended that the Scriptures be read as directed by the Calendar, or “Order of Scripture readings for the Family.”

On Sundays, after reading the Scriptures, the Family shall rise and join in saying the Creed.

Then shall be said, all kneeling, first the Sunday Collect for the week, next the Prayer for the particular day of the week, and lastly the Lord’s Prayer, in which all shall join audibly.
