Would you join me in a word of prayer?

Lord, I was reminded this week of how needy I am.

How needy we all are.

Not just every hour, Lord, every second, every minute of the day, Lord.

And we need you tonight, Lord Lord would you speak to us in

your word Lord we thank you so much for this time and this opportunity in this place to

gather in fellowship and worship Lord so would you bless the teaching in Jesus name

amen amen and amen. Good evening. You can be seated. Welcome. So glad you're here tonight. If you haven't already though, you might want to come up and get the elements for communion after. We're going to celebrate the communion table after the Bible study also those of you online if you want to

join with us you might want to have the elements ready at this time at the conclusion of the Bible study

we will partate together while you're doing that I want to mention that we have a couple of

things by way of an update on our ongoing relief efforts for our Maui Ohana.

So first, we're waiting for an update on the latest container count of the number that were offloaded, then transported to undisclosed locations.

I'm getting very familiar with that particular phrase,

undisclosed locations for distribution of supplies.

And you have to understand there was about 50.

We were up to 20.

It takes a lot of time logistically. So I'm waiting for

that count, that update, but I just want to maybe just by way of a friendly reminder encourage

you that God as only he can is getting those containers rerouted, offloaded into trucks and then to these

locations and the supplies are getting directly into the hands of the people who need them the most.

And this is happening around the clock all day, every day, every night 24 hours a day it is an

ongoing effort and it's happening in real time so as for the acquisition of cars
