Please be seated, church.

Let me pray for our message.

Lord God, only you are good, and you have preserved your word for your people.

Would you please let us hear with open ears, the ears of our heart, so that we would receive instruction from you Let your word accomplish its purpose, and please reduce the preacher and magnify your name.

And I ask in Jesus' name, amen.

Today, church, we get to hang around and spend a little time with the bread of the presence.
