The Lord’s Prayer Reflectively
Leader: Our Father, who art in heaven...
People: As you reign in heaven and earth, we come to you in prayer.
Leader: Hallowed be thy name...
People: Your name is not honored in some circles. Some laugh when your name is
mentioned. For others your name is only a curse word. Help us to honor and respect
you and your holy name.

Leader: Thy kingdom come...
People: It’s often hard to see your hand at work in the world around us. Help us to
glimpse your kingdom coming in the lives of others and in our own lives
each day.
Leader: Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven...
People: Few seem to know your plans and fewer seem to care. We are often confused
about what on earth your will is. Teach us your plan and work through us
to accomplish it.
Leader: Give us this day our daily bread...
People: Food, clothing, and shelter are our daily bread. Thank you for the blessings you
provide. Help us to share both our needs and our abundance with others. And help
us to know the differences between needs and wants.
Leader: Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us…
People: This is not easy, this chain reaction of forgiveness. We are proud. We sometimes
feel guilty, unworthy of your love and acceptance. And we find it difficult
to forgive some people. Help us to receive your forgiveness; and help
us to forgive others.
Leader: Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil...
People: Help us when we are tempted to sin. Show us how Christ resisted temptation
by turning to you, heeding your voice, relying on your strength.
Leader: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
People: You are God, over everything. You have power. You have a plan. You have
honor. Take over now and rule forever. And give us the joy of seeing it
happen. Amen - Let it be so.

Song of Dedication
Accept, O God, the Gifts We Bring
No. 379
Accept, O God, the gifts we bring of spirit and of clay,
Transform them into blessings on those we serve today.
Rekindle deep within us all a passion to fulfill
The ministry disciples have, empower’d to do your will.
Lord’s Prayer (from the New Century Hymnal**)
Our Father-Mother, who is in the heavens, may your name be made holy. May your
dominion come, may your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today
the bread we need; and forgive us our debts, as we have forgiven our debtors; and
do not put us to the test, but rescue us from evil. For yours is the dominion, and the
power, and the glory forever. Amen.
