Amen. Would you join me as we pray?

Lord, how good you are, Lord, and we thank you so much for your goodness and your love, Lord, your mercy and your grace.

That although we don't deserve one bit, Lord.

You just love us so much that you give it to us freely.

And every morning, your mercies I know, Lord.

So we thank you.

I don't know what the message is about tonight, Lord.

I know the title, but I'm excited, Lord.

And we praise your name for allowing us to gather here, those online and those in person.

Now, please, Holy Spirit, would you do what only you can do, Lord?

Guard our minds and our hearts.

That we may focus in without distraction, that we may be blessed in your word we praise your name and we ask this in the only name we could ever ask

such things Jesus we say amen amen and amen and good evening and welcome um you can be seated. So glad you're here tonight.

Trust that you'll be blessed that you did. Those of you online, we're glad that you're joining with us.

By the way, tonight at the conclusion of the Bible study, we'll partate together of communion.

If you haven't got the elements yet,

those of you here, there are two tables in the back. Then we'll put them in the front anymore.

I'm taking it personal. So there's two of them in the back. You can take the elements, take them to your seat,

and then just wait so we can partate together

at the conclusion. Also, I have a special treat for you tonight. Very excited to introduce

to you and Karen. Why don't you guys come on up? So yeah, you have no idea who these people are,

but I'm going to tell you.
