Bible Sunday

Father, we come before you today to reaffirm our commitment to your word.
We believe that each one of us is called to be like your son in the world, a light to the nations. With the guidance and inspiration of your spirit, we will bring your word to your people. We know this is your will for us and therefore we trust in your continued love and protection. Amen. |
