KEY IDEA:
Worship and learning are central aspects of the gathering of those who follow Jesus.PRAYER:
Lord, gather us in to offer words of praise and to hear your word. It's a miracle that we're able to be together. There are so many distractions and so many sirens calling us in different directions. But you are faithful -- worthy of worship and undivided attention. Help me to focus on you so that my joy is continually renewed, in Jesus' name. Amen.
