Please make your dinner reservations here as soon as possible if you plan to eat on Wednesday nights during the month of November.

1. Psalm 89: 1 and 15 NASB “I will sing of the lovingkindness of the Lord forever; To all generations I will make known Your faithfulness with my mouth. How blessed are the people who know the joyful sound! O Lord, they walk in the light of Your countenance.” Father, when we sing about Your love and faithfulness this causes us to be glad. Not only are we blessed, but also, those who recognize the joyful songs have their hearts lightened.
2. Psalm 95: 6 NASB “Come, let us worship and bow down, Let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.” Father God, You call us to worship as we recount Your many acts of faithfulness and generosity toward us. Our knowledge of who You are as Lord, Creator and God of the Universe makes us mindful of our need to worship and bow before You. Even the prayers for wisdom and deliverance are a part of our praise and worship. Thank You for receiving our worship.
