Amen. Well, good evening. I welcome. So glad you're here tonight. How you doing

tonight? You can be seated. That wasn't very convincing, but I'll take it. Those of you

that are joining us online, we want to welcome you as well well and a couple things before we get started

the first of which is we are going to celebrate communion at the conclusion of the Bible study tonight

so if you haven't already you can oh and they're in the back

I thought there's back up front but I and they're in the back. I thought they were back up front,

but I guess they're still in the back.

So you can get the elements at this time.

Those of you online, might want to get them ready

if you want to partake with us.

And while you're doing that, I want to let you know that Tuesday, this upcoming Tuesday,

February 6th, 7 p.m. here in the Sanctuary's, our prayer meeting. And we're going to look at how

God not only answers short three-word prayers, and aren't you glad, but he does so during

those times, particularly when we're in a trial, but also he sometimes made deem it necessary to allow that trial to protect us from a much greater trial.

So that is going to be Tuesday night. I'm going to just share briefly, famous last words, and then afterwards share just a personal prayer update

concerning my wife. And then we'll have our pastors come up. We'll have staff what? Oh.

Oh. I see how it is.

I'm not worthy.

Wow.

Thank you, Mike, by the way.

Thank you for thinking on me.

Wow.
