PRAYER

Opening Prayer

When I go outside, I stop and stare

Your wondrous creation is everywhere.

In each blade of grass, each creature, plant, and flower

The miracle of life shows Your almighty power

Amen


From "My First Prayers" by Autumn Publishing

SCRIPTURE

This Week's Memory Verse - Psalm 95:1-4

"Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before him with thanksgiving and extol him with music and song.

For the Lord is the great God, the great King above all gods.

In his hand are the depths of the earth, and the mountain peaks belong to him."


I always learn scripture better when I can put music to it. If that sounds like you, too, you can use this music video to help you remember this verse about our praise and worship to our great God.

Sing For Joy (Psalm 95:1-4)

The Lord's Prayer

Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed by Thy name

Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven
