Rev. Brian Felker Jones

Pastoral Prayer

Lord’s Prayer

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, for

ever. Amen.

You are the Almighty God, Head of the Church, Living and Victorious.

We are all called to salvation through the grace of Christ.

You gather us from every nation, tribe, place, and time,

to worship the Lamb of God.

Help us learn from the saints in our lives and those in glory,

to be more like Christ, our Savior and Redeemer.

Together we will raise our voices,

singing your praise until we all gather at your throne in

resurrection!
