Just one chapter tonight.

I always try to, I don't ever want to rush through communion.

And I try to do my best to leave enough time at the end so that we're not rushed.

It's such a great time to just celebrate the Lord's table together.

So we're looking forward to that tonight.

So why don't we pray if you would join with me.

Father in heaven, thank you.

Lord, this is our time with you tonight.

And we don't want anything to interrupt it or distract from it or

Lord this is that time that we have together with brothers and sisters in

Christ it's our communion service tonight we look forward to that every month. But Lord, we look forward to just

having this time that we can open up our Bibles and just put aside all of the busyness and stress and pressure and issues that we deal

with on a daily basis and give you our undivided attention.

Lord, there's just our attention.

So much competes for our attention. Well, this is our time, Lord, and we want

to give you our undivided attention. So, Lord, as we do, would you minister to us? We need

to be ministered to. Would you speak to us? We need to be spoken to. So Lord, thank you.

Thank you in advance for what you're going to do in our time together tonight in your word.

We're just so grateful to you, Lord.

We thank you so much.

We love you so much in Jesus' name.

Amen.
