Announcements cont.
Latino/Latina Heritage Month to be observed Sunday, September 11. This is a reminder that we are part of the worldwide
Anglican Communion. We will say The Lord's Prayer in Spanish and sing some new hymns from Latino traditions.
You can start practicing now: Padre nuestro, que estas in el cielo
santificado sea tu Nombre, venga tu reino, hágase tu voluntad, en la tierra como en el cielo.
Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día. Perdona nuestras ofensas, como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos
ofenden. No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.
Porque tuyo es el reino, tuyo es el poder, y tuya es la gloria, ahora y por siempre. Amén.
