Gloria Patri #70 Hymnal

Opening Prayer in unison: Holy God, we humbly gather together to offer to you our praise and our worship. Through your Word, you promise that wherever two or more are gathered in your name, you are there. We claim that promise this day. Come, Lord Jesus, that we might see you and know you. We give ourselves to you in Jesus' name, AMEN.

Hymn       "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing "       400

Morning Prayer - Lord's Prayer in unison
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 trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen

The Giving of Tithes and Offerings            Doxology #95 in Hymnal

Prayer of Thanksgiving in unison: Loving God, everywhere we look we see greed. We offer these gifts as our sacrifice to you. Our trust is in you alone, not the things and ways of the world. Receive these gifts in the spirit in which they are offered. We offer them to you in Christ's holy name, AMEN.

Message Text       Luke 11:1-4

Message       "Prayer: Conversing with God"
