And would you join me as we pray and do just that in us.

Thank the Lord.

Lord, we thank you so much for this time that we can come together and lift up our voices

in worship, Lord, in song, in praise, in declaring who you are, Lord.

We thank you that everything that we have comes from you, Lord.

Would you remind us of all the little things Lord that we often take

for granted that is all from you Lord we praise your name this morning Lord and we want to lift up our

pastors to you and the staff of this church Lord would you guide them lead them Lord fill them

with the strength of your Holy Spirit Lord that they would not waver give pastor J.D. also

the courage to keep on keeping on Lord filling with all that he needs sort to serve

out your will and purpose in his life.

We ask this in your name only Jesus, we say, amen.

Amen and amen.

And good morning and welcome.

You can be seated now, so glad you're here.

Today those of you online, we're glad that you're joining with us today on this Mother's Day. And I want to wish all the

mothers the very best and most blessed Mother's Day ever. And I also want to encourage those for whom Mother's Day is a very difficult day,

particularly those mothers that have wayward daughters or prodigal sons.

I just want to encourage you with something that the Lord had encouraged me with

with and always encourages me with.

Trust that the Lord loves them more than you ever could and never,

ever, ever give up on them. Just keep praying for them.
