We Respond in Prayer
Prayers of Thanksgiving and Intercession
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
God We’ve come into your presence
to pray together and listen to your wisdom.
Please help us to hear you speaking in our lives.
Help us to give you the glory,
help us to serve, support and encourage each other
as we go about our lives this week.
Amen
