12. Man looks at the outside but God looks at the inside 1 Samuel 16:7 Think about this over the week:

13. Jesus’ love is very wonderful, Jesus’ love is very wonderful, Jesus’ love is very wonderful, Oh, wonderful love! It’s so high you can’t get over it, So low you can’t get under it, So wide you can’t get round it, Oh, wonderful love!

14. As our Saviour taught us, so we pray…

15. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
