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.

Amen. *The Children’s Hymn # 191 “Jesus Loves Me” The Children’s Message (Preschool Children may follow Robin Zack to Children’s Church.) Anthem “Because He Lives” Gaither God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus; He came to love, heal, and forgive; He lived and died to buy my pardon, an empty grave is there to prove my Savior lives. Because He lives, I can face tomorrow; because He lives, all fear is gone; because I know He holds the future, and life is worth the living just because He lives. How sweet to hold a newborn baby, and feel the pride and

joy he gives; but greater still the calm assurance, this child can face uncertain days because He lives.
