Adapted from 2 Timothy 2:2
And the things you have heard me say
In the presence of many witnesses
Entrust to reliable people
Who will also be qualified to teach others.
Lord, as we worship you today, empower us to pass on what you have done in us to others.

I was glad when they said to me,
“Let us go to the house of the Lord!”

Come, let us walk in the light of the Lord!

Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.” Let us heed our Lord’s command, and come to him with all that we are.
