*Opening Prayer (Unison)
Lord, You once said ‘As I have loved you, you must also love one another.’
Show us how, Lord. When difficult people come our way, teach us grace.
When relationships have us perplexed, teach us patience. When personalities
have tried us, teach us perseverance. May we love others, Lord, the same way
You have loved us! We pray in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Our 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.
Response No. 306 Hear Our Prayer, O Lord
