Hey, before you're seated, come on up and grab the elements for communion.

And those of you joining us online, we want to welcome you.

And you may at this time wish to also get the elements ready at the conclusion of the Bible study.

We're going to partate together as we always do on the first Thursday of the month.

Really, it's a celebration and a commemoration. Can't wait. Always look forward to it. So, on Thursday nights we're going

through the Bible and book by book, chapter by chapter,

verse by verse were in Jeremiah.

I was just thinking, and this is probably as good of a time as any, to say thank you to you

for being here, for those of you who know what Jeremiah is all about, the fact that you're here,

but even more that you came back, especially after last week in Chapter 5. I think you know,

for those of you that read ahead to stay ahead, it's not

getting any better. In fact, it's kind of really a continuation of what we saw last week. But

God is so good and this is so needed. It's a hard word, but a good word, and a word fitly spoken.

So why don't we pray?

We'll ask God to bless our time together tonight, if you would, please join with me.

Father in heaven, thank you so much.

Lord, we're just so grateful. That sounds so hollow and but you know our hearts, Lord,

and you know our hearts for you and for your word. And Lord, that's why we're here tonight.

We're a needy people.

We're hungry.

We're thirsty.

We're a desperate people.
