We had congregational singing followed by many prayer requests for safety, for the bereaved, those very ill, some of our grandchildren, and several of our own group still having health problems. We pray especially for the unsaved in our communities. We are thankful for all the blessings we are allowed from our Lord.
Brother Dennis read Genesis 4, speaking about Cain and Abel, and the respect God showed for the offering.
