God is often more patient with us than we are with ourselves. There are many fruits of the Spirit, with patience for many of us being a difficult one to achieve. Our prayer for this time of worship is that we will come away feeling encouraged by the praise songs selected by our new Worship Leader, Diane Wilhite, the drama presented by Jason Griffin and the message brought to us by Richard Eitzel. We are reminded in Philippians 1:6 that “God began doing a good work in us, and He will continue it until it is finished when Jesus comes again.”
