VISITORS WELCOME
We are happy the Holy Spirit led you to our door this morning that you might worship the true God with us in spirit and in truth and we pray that you receive a lasting blessing from your worship with us. May you also be led to return often.


PRAYER BEFORE WORSHIP
Dear God, so many people in our world do not know you. Yet in your Word you have revealed who you are. You have described yourself as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Give me a childlike faith to believe in you and a humble reason to search the Scriptures to know more about you. Amen.
