*THE INVOCATION AND LORDS PRAYER (In Unison)

Source of Life, We give you thanks for your son, Jesus, who came to us teaching your ways in sincerity and truth. In him we have learned to give to you all that is yours the work of faith, the labor of love, and a steadfast hope and in him you have given us mercy and rest. We pray as he 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.
