You were all called to travel on the same road and in the same direction, so stay together, both outwardly and inwardly.

8. Tell me the stories of Jesus
I love to hear; things I would ask him to tell me

tales of the sea, stories of Jesus,
tell them to me.

9. deeds full of grace, all in the lovelight of Jesus' face.
First let me hear how the children stood round his knee, and I shall fancy his blessing resting on me; words full of kindness,
deeds full of grace, all in the lovelight of Jesus' face.

10. Opening Prayer
Based upon John 6:28-35
Dear Jesus,
Sometimes like the disciples, we just want to know what God requires of us. You explain that what God requires is for us to believe in Jesus whom God sent. Still we waver in our ability to put our whole faith and trust in you. We long for miracles and signs and wonders. We long to see with our own eyes again and again for we easily forget and too often are distracted. .

11. Opening Prayer
Hymnal # 6
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hidden. Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.
