The creation story from the earth as a formless void in darkness covered the face of the deep, thru a wind from God sweeping over the waters, God creating and naming light / Day, the sky, the land, plants, animals, seasons, years, the stars, birds, fish, animals, humans - and resting on the 7th day.

Psalm: Daniel 3 - To you glory and praise forever more.

Second: II Corinthians 13:11-13 - Be united .. live in peace ... The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you.
