Men, women, elders and youths praise the Lord’s holy name. Give thanks to the Lord and pray together. All present their bodies as living sacrifice, people in this family are so fortunate.

Have peace among each other, and love your neighbor as yourself, look up to the Lord to receive more blessings.
