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
You who prayed from the cross for your Father to forgive those who were killing you, grant us the courage to forgive those who harm us in our families, in our communities, and in our world. Help us recognize our own need to seek the forgiveness of others. Amen.

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].
