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.
WE CELEBRATE

A NOTE TO PARENTS
We love children and your little ones are welcome in
our worship service. On those days when
your child is fussy, the parlor located behind the sanctuary provides an
excellent place to care for your child and still participate in the worship
service.
Child care is provided for infants and children up to
2 years old in the Education Building during Sunday school and worship
hours.
