WE COME IN PRAYER: Heavenly Father, we
gather in Your house for worship today.
Prepare us for this worship hour by cleansing us from all our sins, so
that we might give full attention to You and Your Word. Help us to receive Your Word into our hearts
and to put it into practice for all situations and circumstances in our
lives. Through Jesus Christ our Lord we
pray. Amen.
