*INVOCATION AND LORD’S PRAYER (unison)

O Infinite God, who fills the universe with your unsearchable presence and yet dwells in every heart that looks up in trust to you, we come to you in praise and prayer. We come to celebrate the life, death and resurrection of Jesus the Christ, in whom your fullness dwells, and in whom we find the salvation and the example for our lives, and 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.
