*INVOCATION AND LORD’S
PRAYER (unison)
Generous God, your
creation springs anew this morning as we again gather to participate in the
human tapestry you have created. You know each of your creation by name and you
call us together as diverse individuals to create community, a community of
faith and a community of Jesus Christ, who taught us to pray…
Our Father who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done, on
earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our
debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not
into temptation, but
deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the
glory, forever. Amen.
