Bless What We Do Together—Jan. 28, 2022

[From Jan. 31, 2020 archive]

 

If you are with us to bless what we do,

we must never place limits on 

how much one person can accomplish,

or on how much this is multiplied 

if all of us engage in our work together.

 

We gather to praise and serve you, Lord;

help us encourage one another in

love and good deeds, and may the glory

 be to you.
