  CALL TO PRAYER   HE IS OUR PEACE   (by Kandela Groves)

He is our peace, who has broken down ev’ry wall; He is our peace, He is our peace. 

Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you; He is our peace, He is our peace. 

 

Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you; He is our peace, He is our peace. 

(1975 CCCM Music)

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.
