"I'm here and ready to listen," he told the Lord.

Lord, we are here.
We are here to worship and attend to you.
We're here for you.

Amen!!!

Offertory Prayer
Thank you, Lord, for not forsaking us.
Thank you, Lord, for searching for us and finding us where we are.
Our offering today is control of our lives.
Our hope is that our dreams and God's dreams will be one and will work together.

Amen!!

Benediction
Jesus said: "Follow me" and "come and see" how we can change the world.
Let us follow Jesus, and you will see what happens next. Amen.
