Let us sing ‘Be Bold’ Be bold, be strong For the Lord your God is with you I am not afraid (No, No, No) I am not dismayed (Not Me!) Because I'm walking in faith and victory Come on and walk in faith and victory For the Lord your God is with you.

Let us pray… Dear Lord, Thank you for providing us with so many people that will listen to our problems. We are grateful for all the help we are given if we feel we are being bullied. Thank you for helping those who have difficulty in understanding the feelings of others. Please help us all to use your power inside us and use this power for good.  Amen
