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. Prayer Response: Youth Bells: Be Joyful Prayer for Illumination (Scotty Brady) Lord, open our hearts and minds by the power of your Holy Spirit, that as the Scriptures are read and your Word is proclaimed, we may hear with joy what you say to us today. Amen.

Scriptures

1 John 4:11-12

11 Beloved, since God loved us so much, we also ought to love one another.

12 No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us, and his love is perfected in us.

Micah 6:8

8 He has told you, O mortal, what is good, and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice and to love kindness and to walk humbly with your God?

This is the Word of the Lord

Thanks be to God!
