with<00:35:39.750><c> others,</c><00:35:40.389><c> firstly</c><00:35:40.690><c> with</c><00:35:41.110><c> our</c><00:35:41.329><c> families</c>

00:35:41.650 --> 00:35:44.409

00:35:46.630 --> 00:35:50.349
Then<00:35:47.110><c> we</c><00:35:47.329><c> can</c><00:35:47.570><c> experience</c><00:35:48.449><c> the</c><00:35:49.130><c> peace</c><00:35:49.389><c> of</c><00:35:49.650><c> God</c><00:35:49.929><c> that</c><00:35:50.150><c> we've</c>

00:35:56.670 --> 00:35:58.530
that<00:35:56.809><c> I</c><00:35:56.869><c> wanted</c><00:35:56.969><c> to</c><00:35:57.230><c> focus</c><00:35:57.489><c> on</c><00:35:57.670><c> because</c><00:35:57.849><c> I</c><00:35:58.050><c> think</c>

00:35:58.530 --> 00:36:04.250
that's<00:35:59.110><c> a</c><00:35:59.230><c> really</c><00:35:59.449><c> powerful</c><00:36:00.409><c> peace</c><00:36:01.309><c> creator.</c><00:36:02.670><c> It's</c><00:36:03.070><c> also</c><00:36:03.389><c> emphasized</c><00:36:03.989><c> in</c>

00:36:04.250 --> 00:36:06.170

00:36:11.129 --> 00:36:16.850
