*PRAYER OF INVOCATION AND THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)          Kristin Lewis

As your Children, Abba, Father, we pray for your presence in our worship. We pray that you would
 be with us; opening our ears to hear your message, cleansing our lips to speak your words, and
 preparing us to be sent forth that the world might be saved through your Son. We pray these things
 in the name of the one who was lifted up 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.
