Gloria Patri #70 Hymnal

Opening Prayer: O God, we come to you from many places; different places in our relationship with you, different places in our relationship with ourselves and with others. We come from these places to worship and honor you. You are our common bond. We celebrate that bond, we celebrate each other, and we celebrate you. Through this time of worship, may we grow closer to you, to each other, and in our self-knowledge. We offer this time in Christ’s name, AMEN.

Morning Prayer - 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 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
