WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we thank and praise You for
the teaching and preaching of Your Word in our midst. May Your Word pass from the ear to the heart,
from the heart to the lip, and from the lip to life so that others can see our
trust in You. Give us strength to fight
the good fight of faith so that we may finally receive the salvation of our
souls. This we pray for Jesus’
sake. Amen.
