Morning Prayer followed by 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 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.

Those of you, who are worshiping with us for the first time, welcome to the family!
We are so glad you have become a part of us on this joyous day!
We are a family of faith, growing together in love, peace, and grace.
However we can be of help to you, we would love to be. Please sign your name, with your address

plate), or on the attendance register that will be passed to you. That way, we can offer our help and a
special welcome to you!
