Silent Prayer of Confession & Assurance of Pardon

An Affirmation of Faith (unison)
This is the good news which we received, in which we stand and by which we are saved; that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day; and that he appeared to Mary, then to the twelve, and to many faithful witnesses. We believe he is the Christ, the Son of the Living God. He is the first and the last, the beginning and the end, he is our Lord and our God. Amen.

Sharing of Joys and Concerns & Prayers of the People

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; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.”

Congregational News & Offering

Scripture: Luke 11:1-4, 9 (CEV)

Prayer

11 When Jesus had finished praying, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his followers to pray.”

2 So Jesus told them, “Pray in this way:

‘Father, help us

    to honor your name.

Come and set up

    your kingdom.

3 Give us each day

    the food we need.[a]

4 Forgive our sins,

as we forgive everyone

    who has done wrong to us.

And keep us

    from being tempted.’”

9 So I tell you to ask and you will receive, search and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you.

L: The Word of the Lord

P: Thanks be to God.
