Prayers of the People

Prayer Response:  Mary and or Janie would you be okay playing another verse of Jesus loves me as a response to prayer.   I feel we need a way to acknowledge the prayerful moods of our hearts before we just jump into scripture.   Would you play it in a way that folks would know that it is a reflective peace and not a piece to be sung?    Peace,
