Move the hearts of all who follow you, LORD, that we might all bless you this day.
Fill your ears with our songs of praise. Fill your eyes with our uplifted hands.
And as we bless you, LORD, may you bless us.

O LORD, you took up residence among us in your wilderness tabernacle.
Then, LORD, you dwelt near us in your temple in Jerusalem.
Next, LORD, you lived with us in your son Jesus.
Now, LORD, you reside in us by your Spirit.
Thank you, LORD, for always being at home among us.

A recent book includes two studies on why people choose a church.[i] When people who don’t normally attend a church start attending and then are asked why they started attending, they give these four answers: they like the preaching, they agree with the church’s doctrines, the church members are friendly, or a church member witnessed to them. When people who do normally attend church services are asked why they attend, they give these four answers: they agree with the church’s doctrines, they see how church members care for each other, they like the preaching, or the church members are friendly to them.
