We Respond in Prayer
G.K. Chesterton said, "Let your religion be less of a theory and more of a love affair."
Prayers for One Another
(Please stand when offering a prayer, so others will know you have the floor.)
The Lord's Prayer
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.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
Amen.
Closing Prayer
Lord, help us distinguish between the love that keeps merely human affection in the center of things and the love you bore in your sacrificial life, death, and resurrection. Amen.
We Go in Peace
Passing the Peace of Christ
(Each person says a line of the blessing, adding the name of someone present at the end of the line. If there are more than 8 people present, two or more names may be added at the end of a line).
May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, [name]
wherever he may send you, [name]
may he guide you through the wilderness, [name]
protect you through the storm, [name]
may he bring you home rejoicing, [name]
at the wonders he has shown you, [name]
may he bring you home rejoicing, [name]
once again into our doors, [name].
