*THE INVOCATION AND LORDS PRAYER (In Unison)

Sower of life, we enter this time of worship weighed down by the burdens of life, filled with joy overflowing, or somewhere in between. Meet us in this place. Open our ears to hear the words you speak today. May they take root in us and flourish, nurtured by sermon, songs and prayer. We pray as Jesus us taught us to pray for your kingdom saying, 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.
