*INVOCATION
AND THE LORD’S PRAYER (unison)
Almighty
God, in Jesus Christ you opened for us a new and living way into your presence.
Give us pure hearts and constant wills to worship you in spirit and in truth;
through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, and who taught us to pray saying…
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.
