Holy Spirit, and fill us this hour.
Open our eyes and our ears and all our
senses, and shine in our hearts filled by your love that we may know your Word
and live your righteousness and follow where you lead. Amen.

of the Living God” UMH #393

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.
