Opening Prayer 118:1 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his steadfast love endures forever! 118:2 Let Israel say, “His steadfast love endures forever.” 118:19 Open to me the gates of righteousness, that I may enter through them and give thanks to the LORD. 118:20 This is the gate of the LORD; the righteous shall enter through it. 118:21 I thank you that you have answered me and have become my salvation. 118:22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvelous in our eyes. 118:24 This is the day that the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. 118:25 Save us, we beseech you, O LORD! O LORD, we beseech you, give us success! 118:26 Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the LORD. We bless you from the house of the LORD. 118:27 The LORD is God, and he has given us light. Bind the festal procession with branches, up to the horns of the altar. 118:28 You are my God, and I will give thanks to you; you are my God, I will extol you. 118:29 O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his steadfast love endures forever. – Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29.

We Know What We Should Eat! If you have visited with us once, or been here for every Health and Wellness presentation for the Missional Community, I am confident you know what you should eat. Just as we know that Jesus gifts us salvation by believing in Him, and faith, without good works, is dead. James 2:14-26. Today we explore a most nutritious and satisfying dish to prepare and eat.
