August 9, 2026 | He Bears Witness
Dear Mayflower family, Sunday morning we sat down together in Acts 14:1-7 and watched two men, Paul and Barnabas, walk into a city that did not want their message. Instead of going quiet as the room turned cold, they grew bolder and stayed a long time. Why? Verse 3 tells us. They were speaking for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace. The One who sent the message stood up in that hostile city and put his own name behind it. By the end of the chapter the city had split in two, a plot to stone them had formed, and they simply fled to the next town and preached the same word all over again. Now that you have heard the sermon, the week ahead is a chance to live inside that one comfort from every side: you do not speak about Jesus alone. The readings below do not re-walk Sunday’s passage. They walk around it, one thread each day, so that by Friday you are standing more firmly on the courage the sermon opened up. Monday we watch the Lord confirm his own word. Tuesday we see him open a closed heart. Wednesday we hear him promise to give us the words when we are afraid. Thursday we remember that the word of God cannot be chained. And Friday we go to the church at prayer, asking for the same boldness Paul and Barnabas were given. Take five minutes a day, or sit with the whole week at once. There is no wrong way to use them. Before you begin, would you do one thing for me? Somewhere God has already put a person in front of you, someone who admires Jesus from a distance and has never crossed over: a neighbor, a coworker, someone in your own family. Carry that person before God all week, and ask him for one open door and the courage to walk through it. Remember that you are not the guarantor of the gospel. He is. The Lord vouches for his own word of grace, and he will back the word he sends through you. In Christ, Pastor Anton Five-Day Devotional Monday: He bears witness Read: Hebrews 2:1-4 The signs and wonders in Acts 14 were never proof of how gifted Paul and Barnabas were. Hebrews tells us plainly what they were: God himself bearing witness to the great salvation first declared by the Lord. When you speak the gospel, that same God stands behind it, confirming his own word of grace long after the miracles have gone quiet. Father, thank You that You never leave Your gospel to stand on its own, but bear witness to it Yourself. Tuesday: The Lord opened her heart Read: Acts 16:11-15 A great number believed at Iconium, and Luke never credits the preacher’s skill. Here is why. When Lydia believed, it was because the Lord opened her heart to pay attention. Faith is God’s own work underneath the words we speak. That is why we can open our mouths with hope and leave the results to him. Lord, open hearts this week that I could never open, and let me be faithful to speak while You do the work only You can do. Wednesday: I will give you words Read: Luke 12:4-12 Most of us go quiet because we are secretly carrying the whole weight ourselves: what if I say it wrong, what if they ask what I cannot answer? Jesus lifts that weight. Do not be anxious how you will speak, he says, for the Spirit will teach you in that very hour. Your job is faithfulness. His job is the witness. Holy Spirit, take away my fear of saying it wrong, and give me the words when the moment comes. Thursday: The word is not bound Read: 2 Timothy 2:8-13 They ran Paul out of Iconium, and the word simply moved to the next town and kept preaching. Paul later sat in a prison cell and wrote the reason down: the word of God is not bound. You can chain the messenger. You cannot chain the message. It has run for two thousand years, and it ran all the way to you. Father, thank You that nothing can stop Your word, and that it reached even me. Friday: Boldness to speak Read: Acts 4:23-31 When the first Christians were threatened for preaching Christ, they did not ask God to make the threats stop. They asked him for boldness to keep speaking, and he shook the room and filled them with the Spirit. Come back from the other side of Sunday’s sermon and pray that same prayer, and carry the boldness into next Sunday’s gathering. Lord, do not let a little discomfort silence me, but grant me boldness to speak Your word of grace. The Lord vouches for his own word of grace. So speak the word he puts in front of you, and leave the witness to him.

He Bears Witness: Family Devotional
Dear Mayflower family, Here is this week’s Family Devotional, ready for your table. If this is your first time opening one, welcome. It is a single page that takes the sermon we just heard on Sunday and brings it home, so the Word preached in the pew and the Word talked over at dinner are the same Word. You do not need to be a teacher or know your Bible cold to lead it. You can do the whole page in about ten minutes in one sitting, or take one small step a night, Monday through Friday. There is no wrong way. One unhurried faith talk this week is a win. This week the page grows out of “He Bears Witness,” from Acts 14:1-7. The heart of it is this: when God sends us to tell people about Jesus, He does not send us alone; He stands behind every word and makes it do its work. Two men walked into a city that did not want their message and grew braver instead of quieter, because they knew who was standing behind them. That is the picture your table will be sitting with this week. Read together, talk together, pray together, sing together. Here is this week’s page. Pastor Anton This week’s Big Idea: When God sends us to tell people about Jesus, He does not send us alone. He stands behind every word and helps it do its work. Memory verse for the week: “the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace” (Acts 14:3) Say it together at the start of each time you gather. By Friday, see who can say it without looking. 1. READ (start here every time) This week’s passage: Acts 14:1-3 (ESV), inside the bigger story of Acts 14:1-7. Read it out loud together. With young children, read it once slowly. With older children and teens, read it and then ask what stood out. If you are taking one step a night, read a short slice each evening: Monday, Acts 14:1, a great number believe; Tuesday, Acts 14:2, some hearts turn hard; Wednesday, Acts 14:3, the Lord backs the word with his own witness; Thursday, Acts 14:4, the city splits in two; Friday, Acts 14:5-7, they are chased out, and keep preaching. 2. THINK (a thought a parent can read out loud, cold) Paul and Barnabas walked into a city that did not want to hear about Jesus, and instead of getting quiet, they got braver. How? God Himself stood behind their words and helped them. When we tell people about Jesus, God does not send us out alone. He is right there, doing the real work in people’s hearts, the same Jesus who died and rose to make us His own. Our job is just to open our mouths. God’s job is to make the words land. 3. TALK (pick the questions that fit your table; you do not need to ask them all) For young children: When you are scared to do something, it helps to have a grown-up right beside you. Who was standing beside Paul and Barnabas, helping them, even when the whole city was against them? For school-age children: Paul and Barnabas got braver when things got harder, not quieter. What made them so brave? For teens: Have you ever gone quiet about Jesus because you were afraid of what someone would think? Paul was told the whole thing did not rest on him, because God stood behind the message. Would it change anything for you to know you are not carrying that alone? For the whole table: God helps the words we say about Jesus do their work. Who is one person our family could tell about Jesus this week? 4. DO (one small thing to carry the truth into the week) Do this: Paul and Barnabas kept telling people about Jesus even when it was hard. As a family, pick one person who may not know Jesus, and this week tell them one true thing about Him. Decide together tonight who it will be, then do it before Friday. Another way to do this: Practice first, right here. Go around the table and let each person say one thing about Jesus they love, out loud, the way you would tell a friend. One sentence is plenty. If you would rather, draw a picture of it and show it to someone this week. Say it or draw it. Pick the one you can do. 5. PRAY (a parent leads; pray it as written or in your own words) Father, thank You that when we tell people about Jesus, You never send us out alone. You stand behind Your own word and make it do its work. Please give each of our children a new heart that truly trusts Christ, and make our whole family brave to speak about Him. In Jesus’ name, amen. 6. SING (close by singing one together) This week’s song: “He Will Hold Me Fast” (it says the Lord keeps hold of us and will never let us go, just as He stands behind His own word and will not let it fail). Sing one verse, or the whole thing. If your family does not know it, read the first verse out loud together instead. One faith talk this week is a win. If your family can do this most nights, even better. Keep it short, keep it warm, keep coming back to it.

August 2, 2026 | What the Law Could Never Do
Dear Mayflower family, Sunday morning, we sat down together in Acts 13:13-52, in a synagogue in Antioch of Pisidia, where Paul stood up among people who had the holiest, truest document in the world, the law of Moses, and told them plainly what that good law could never do. It could read them their sentence. It could not lift it. By the end of his sermon the room had split down the middle: some begged to hear more, and some folded their arms and walked away. The whole thing turned on two verses, 38 and 39, where Paul says that everyone who believes is freed from everything the law of Moses could never free them from. Now that you have heard the sermon, the week ahead is a chance to live inside that one promise from every side. The readings below do not re-walk Sunday's passage. They walk around it, one thread each day, so that by Friday you are standing more firmly on the gospel you heard preached. Monday we go back to the promise God made to David. Tuesday and Wednesday we sit with what it means to be freed and justified by faith and not by our record. Thursday we follow the light out to the nations, which is the only reason it ever reached us. And Friday we come back from the other side of the sermon and look squarely at Christ, where assurance is actually found. Take five minutes a day, or sit with the whole week at once. There is no wrong way to use them. Before you begin, would you do one thing for me? Somewhere in this church there is a person exactly like those God-fearers in that synagogue: someone who loves this church, respects the Bible, believes there is a God, and has never actually crossed over and trusted Christ. It may be a friend, a coworker, a member of your own family. Carry that person before God all week, and pray that this would be the week they look at Jesus and believe. Grace ran wider than anyone in that room expected, and it can run that wide again. In Christ, Pastor Anton Five-Day Devotional Monday: As He promised Read: 2 Samuel 7:12-16 Centuries before Paul stood up in that synagogue, God made a promise to David that one of his sons would have a kingdom that lasts forever. On Sunday we heard Paul say of Jesus, "as he promised," and this is the promise he meant. The Savior was not God's afterthought or plan B; He was named and pledged long before He was born. Your salvation does not rest on how strongly you can believe today. It rests on a promise God made in history and a promise God kept. Father, thank You that my hope rests on a promise You made and kept, and not on the strength of my own faith. Tuesday: What the law could never do Read: Romans 3:19-24 The law is holy, true in every word, and it does one thing perfectly: it stops every mouth and shows the whole world to be accountable to God. What it cannot do is take the guilt away. Paul says it plainly here, the same thing he said in the synagogue: no one is justified by keeping the law, but we are justified freely by grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus. The law is the truest diagnosis ever written, and Christ is the cure. Lord, keep me from ever trusting my own record, and teach me to rest entirely on the righteousness You give me as a gift. Wednesday: Everyone who believes Read: Romans 4:4-8 To be justified is to have God the Judge look at you and declare you to be in the right. Not improving, not trying hard, not on the right track, but acquitted, the case against you closed. Paul says the blessing comes to the one who does not work but believes, and he calls back to David, who spoke of the man whose sins the Lord will never count against him. That is the offer Paul made to everyone in the room: everyone who believes is freed, from everything, no matter their record. Father, thank You that You count me righteous not because of what I have done, but because of what Christ has done for me. Thursday: A light for the nations Read: Isaiah 49:5-6 When the synagogue pushed the gospel away, Paul and Barnabas turned to the Gentiles, and they grounded that turn in a promise God had made in Isaiah hundreds of years before. The going-out to the nations was never a backup plan cobbled together after rejection; it was written into Scripture from the start. "I will make you as a light for the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth." The light was never meant to stay in one synagogue, and the proof it reached the end of the earth is that it reached you. Lord, thank You that Your light traveled all the way to me, and make me one who carries it to the next person who needs it. Friday: Look to Christ Read: John 6:37-40 Acts 13 says that as many as were appointed to eternal life believed, and a tender heart can tie itself in knots wondering, "Am I one of them?" Scripture never sends you to climb into heaven and read some hidden book. It sends you to Christ. Jesus says here that whoever comes to Him He will never cast out, and that it is the Father's will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes should have eternal life. Coming home from the other side of Sunday's sermon, do not stare inward hunting for proof. Look at Jesus, believe, and carry that settled rest into next Sunday's gathering. Father, when I am tempted to search my own heart for assurance, turn my face to Christ, where it is actually found. The law can read you your sentence. Only Christ can lift it. So look at Him, and believe, and be free.

What the Law Could Never Do: Family Devotional
Dear parents, Sunday morning, the whole church sat in Acts 13, where Paul stood up in a synagogue full of religious people and told them the hard, freeing truth: God's good rules can show us what is wrong with us, but they can never fix it. Only Jesus can take sin away, and He does it for everyone who believes, no matter who they are or how far away they live. This week, the home gets to sit on the same Word the pulpit preached. The devotional below is built so you can lead it cold, with no training and no prep. Do the whole page in one sitting of about ten minutes, or take one short step a night, Monday through Friday. There is no wrong way to use it. Here is why this matters around your table this week. Many of the people in that synagogue looked religious and respectable on the outside, and they still walked away from Jesus. Your children are learning, one ordinary night at a time, the difference between knowing about God and actually trusting Christ for themselves. You do not have to be the strong one. You get to hold out the good news plainly: Jesus did what no rule ever could, and everyone who believes in Him is set free. One faith talk this week is a win. In Christ, Pastor Anton This week's Big Idea: The law can read you your sentence. Only Christ can lift it. God's rules can show us what is wrong with us, but they can never fix it. Only Jesus can take our sin away. And He set people free no matter who they were or how far away they lived. Memory verse for the week: "Through this man forgiveness of sins is proclaimed to you, and by him everyone who believes is freed." (Acts 13:38-39) Say it together at the start of each time you gather. By Friday, see who can say it without looking. 1. READ (start here every time) This week's passage: Acts 13:38-39 (ESV), inside the bigger story of Acts 13:13-52. Read it out loud together. With young children, read it once slowly. With older children and teens, read it and then ask what stood out. If you are taking one step a night, read a short slice each evening: Monday, Acts 13:23, God sends the Savior He promised long ago, Jesus; Tuesday, Acts 13:29-30, they laid Him in a tomb, but God raised Him; Wednesday, Acts 13:38-39, everyone who believes is set free; Thursday, Acts 13:46-47, the good news runs out to all the nations; Friday, Acts 13:48-52, the people believe and are filled with joy. 2. THINK (a thought a parent can read out loud, cold) God gave His people good rules a long time ago. The rules were true, and they showed people what was wrong inside them, like a doctor's note that names a sickness. But a note cannot make you well, and the rules could never take away sin. So God sent His own Son, Jesus, just like He promised. Jesus died and rose again, and now anyone who trusts in Him is set free from every wrong thing they have ever done. The rules could point to the problem. Only Jesus could fix it. 3. TALK (pick the questions that fit your table; you do not need to ask them all) For young children: The Bible says everyone who believes in Jesus is "freed." What is one thing it feels like to be set free, like being let out the door to go play? For school-age children: Paul told these people that God's good rules could never set them free from their sin. So what, or who, can set us free? For teens: These people were religious and respectable, and many of them still walked away from Jesus. Is it possible to look like a good church person on the outside and never actually trust Christ for yourself? Where are you in that, honestly? For the whole table: Paul said the good news is for "everyone who believes." What would change in our family if we really believed Jesus sets us free, no matter what we have done? 4. DO (one small thing to carry the truth into the week) Do this: Paul carried the news about Jesus to people who had never heard it, and the light reached all the way to us. This week, as a family, pick one person who may not know that Jesus sets people free, and tell them one true thing about Him. A neighbor, a friend, a cousin. Decide together tonight who it will be, then do it before Friday. Another way to do this: Practice here first. Go around the table and let each person say one thing about Jesus they love, out loud, the way you would say it to a friend. You can keep it to one sentence. If you would rather, draw a picture of the one thing about Jesus you would want to tell someone. When you are ready, you can say it or show it to a friend this week. Pick the one you can do. 5. PRAY (a parent leads; pray it as written or in your own words) Father, thank You that You kept Your promise and sent Jesus to do what no rule ever could. Thank You that He died and rose, and that everyone who believes in Him is set free. We ask You to give each of our children a new heart that truly trusts Christ, so they would be freed too. And help us carry this good news out to people who have never heard it. In Jesus' name, amen. 6. SING (close by singing one together) This week's song: "All I Have Is Christ" (it says plainly that we could not save ourselves and that Jesus alone set us free and became all we have, which is the whole point of this passage). Sing one verse, or the whole thing. If your family does not know it, read the first verse out loud together instead. One faith talk this week is a win. If your family can do this most nights, even better. Keep it short, keep it warm, keep coming back to it.

The Spirit Sends: Family Devotional
Family Worship This Week: The Spirit Sends Dear parents, This morning, the whole church sat in Acts 13:1-3, where a small church in a big city was worshiping and praying, and the Holy Spirit told them to set apart their two best teachers and send them off to tell the nations about Jesus. This week, the home gets to sit on the same Word that the pulpit preached. The devotional below is built so you can lead it cold, with no training and no prep. Do the whole page in one sitting of about ten minutes, or take one short step a night, Monday through Friday. There is no wrong way to use it. Here is why this matters around your table this week. Sending and letting go are at the heart of how God grows His church, and your children are learning, one ordinary night at a time, whether following Jesus means holding tight to what is comfortable or opening their hands to whatever He asks. You do not have to have it all figured out. You get to show them a God who opened His own hands first and gave His Son for us, and a church that can let go because He never lets go of us. One faith talk this week is a win. In Christ, Pastor Anton This week's Big Idea: The risen Jesus sends His church out to tell the world about Him, and He does it by His Holy Spirit. A church in Antioch was worshiping and praying when the Spirit said, "Send Barnabas and Saul." So the church prayed, laid their hands on them, and let them go. The Spirit sends; the church lets go. Memory verse for the week: "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." (Acts 13:2) Say it together at the start of each time you gather. By Friday, see who can say it without looking. 1. READ (start here every time) This week's passage: Acts 13:1-3 (ESV). Read it out loud together. With young children, read it once slowly. With older children and teens, read it and then ask what stood out. If you are taking one step a night, read a short slice each evening: Monday, Acts 13:1, five very different people in one church; Tuesday, Acts 13:2, the church is worshiping and the Spirit speaks; Wednesday, Acts 13:2 again, "the work to which I have called them," God called them first; Thursday, Acts 13:3, they pray, lay on hands, and let them go; Friday, Acts 13:1-3, the whole story, the Spirit sends and the church lets go. 2. THINK (a thought a parent can read out loud, cold) There was a church in a city called Antioch. The people in it were not at all alike: some were from Africa, one had grown up in a king's palace, one used to hurt Christians before Jesus changed his heart. But Jesus had made them one family. One day they were worshiping God and praying together, and the Holy Spirit spoke and said, "Set apart Barnabas and Saul for the work I have called them to." These two men were the church's very best teachers. The church could have held on tight and kept them. Instead they prayed, put their hands on them to bless them, and let them go to tell other people about Jesus. They could open their hands because God opened His hands first: He did not hold back His own Son but gave Jesus up on the cross to save us. When you know a God like that, you can let go of anything, because He will never let go of you. 3. TALK (pick the questions that fit your table; you do not need to ask them all) For young children: The church loved Barnabas and Saul very much. When the Holy Spirit said to send them, did the church hold on tight or open their hands and let them go? What did they do with their hands first? For school-age children: It is hard to give away something you love. Why do you think the church was able to let their two best teachers go? What did they do before they said goodbye? For teens: God's call came from outside Barnabas and Saul, in worship and through the church, not from looking inside themselves to find their passion. Where do you usually look to figure out what your life is for? And have you ever asked the God who sends to call you, and trusted Jesus with whatever the answer is? For the whole table: Is there something our family is holding in a tight fist right now, our plans, our comfort, our time, our money, that God might be asking us to open our hands and give? What would it look like to let it go because He let go of His Son for us? 4. DO (one small thing to carry the truth into the week) Do this: The church prayed for Barnabas and Saul, blessed them, and sent them out. As a family, pick one missionary or one person our church helps send out to tell others about Jesus. Write their name where we can see it. Then pray for them out loud, together, more than once this week, and if you can, write them a short note to tell them your family is praying for them. We help hold the rope for the people who go. Another way to do this: Open both your hands flat in front of you and hold them out, like you are giving something away. Pick one thing you really like and would not want to give up, a toy, an afternoon, a treat, and decide together to give it to someone else this week. As you give it, open your hands again and say, "The Spirit sends; the church lets go." Let your open hands be the reminder that God opened His hands first and gave us Jesus. 5. PRAY (a parent leads; pray it as written or in your own words) Father, thank You that You opened Your own hands and gave Your Son Jesus to save us. Thank You that You send Your church out by Your Holy Spirit to tell the whole world about Him. Help our family worship You, listen for You, and hold nothing back from You. Make us a church that prays and lets go, with open hands. And we ask You to give each of our children a new heart that truly trusts Jesus, so that one day they say yes to wherever You send them. In Jesus' name, amen. 6. SING (close by singing one together) This week's song: "All I Have Is Christ" (the church in Antioch could let go of its best because everything it had was already Christ, and this song teaches our children that a life poured out for Jesus is no loss but the whole point). Sing one verse, or the whole thing. If your family does not know it, read the first verse out loud together instead. One faith talk this week is a win. If your family can do this most nights, even better. Keep it short, keep it warm, keep coming back to it.

July 19, 2026 | The Spirit Sends
Dear Mayflower family, This morning we sat down together in Acts 13:1-3, three quiet verses with no miracle anyone could see. A handful of church leaders in a big pagan city were worshiping the Lord, praying, and fasting, and into that ordinary gathering the Holy Spirit spoke: "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." For the first time in Acts, a local church deliberately sends its own people to carry the gospel to the nations. And it does not happen at headquarters in Jerusalem or at a council of apostles. It happens in a congregation, a church much like this one, gathered and seeking God. Now that you have heard the sermon, the week ahead is a chance to live inside what those verses opened up. The risen Christ sends His church by His Spirit. Antioch did not invent Paul's call; it heard it in worship, recognized it, and confirmed it. And then it did the hardest thing, the thing the whole text turns on: it opened its hands and let its two best men go. The readings below do not re-walk Sunday's passage. They walk around it, one thread each day, so that by Friday your own hands are a little more open than they were on Monday. Take five minutes a day, or sit with the whole week at once. There is no wrong way to use them. Before you begin, would you do one thing for me? Pick one name from the work of sending: a missionary this church supports, a believer you know who has been called somewhere costly, or simply someone you would hate to lose. Carry that name through the week, and pray that God would send laborers and that you would have the faith to let them go. We are not an Antioch because we feel brave. We are an Antioch when we worship God and hold nothing back from Him. In Christ, Pastor Anton Five-Day Devotional Monday: The promise with faces Read: Genesis 12:1-3 Two thousand years before Antioch, God promised Abraham that in his offspring all the families of the earth would be blessed. Paul says that promise was the gospel preached ahead of time, and the offspring is Christ. On Sunday we read a list of five names in one congregation, a Levite from Cyprus, two Africans, a nobleman from Herod's court, and a Pharisee from Jerusalem, and that ancient promise was taking on faces. Before God asked this church for anything, He had already filled it with living proof of what the blood of His Son can do: make one family out of strangers. Father, thank You that the church beside me on Sunday is the proof of a promise older than the world; let me see grace in faces unlike my own. Tuesday: A person, not a force Read: John 16:7-15 The Spirit of God speaks in Acts 13. He commands, He says "for me," He claims two men as His own, because He is not an influence or an energy but God Himself, with the Father and the Son. Jesus had promised exactly this Spirit, the Helper who would come, guide, and glorify the Son. And that changes how you treat Him: a force can only be used, but a person can be obeyed, or grieved. Antioch obeyed. Holy Spirit, You are God; teach me to listen for You and obey You, and keep me from ever grieving the One who was sent to lead me home. Wednesday: The call comes from outside you Read: Acts 9:10-16 Long before the meeting in Antioch, the Lord had already named Saul His chosen instrument to carry His name before the Gentiles. The church did not create that call; it heard it, recognized it, and confirmed it. Our culture tells you to look inside yourself, find your passion, and build your life out of it, and then leaves you terrified of choosing wrong. Acts hands you a better grammar: the call comes from outside you, it is heard in worship, and it is given for service, not for self-fulfillment. Lord, free me from the exhausting search inside myself, and set me in the worshiping church where Your call is heard. Thursday: He did not spare His own Son Read: Romans 8:31-39 How does a church open its hands and let its best people go? There is only one answer deep enough. The Father did not spare His own Son but gave Him up for us all, to a manger, to a cross, to a tomb, for the nations and for you. The Son rose, and now He sends. A church that has received Christ can release anything, because open hands are not a loss of security; for a people kept by God, open hands are worship. Father, You opened Your hands first and gave Your Son for me; loosen my closed fists and make my open hands an act of worship. Friday: Pray the Lord of the harvest Read: Matthew 9:35-38 Jesus saw the crowds, had compassion on them, and told His people to pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers. That is the prayer Antioch was living when the Spirit spoke, and it is the prayer this church can pray now, with expectancy, for the people in these very pews. The first missionary journey began the way the modern missionary movement began, in a prayer meeting. Carry that prayer into next Sunday's gathering, and bring the name you have been praying all week. Lord of the harvest, speak to us the way You spoke to Antioch, and give us the faith to let our laborers go. The Spirit sends; the church lets go. Open your hands this week.
