THE LORD'S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name.
Your kingdom come.
Your will be done on earth,
as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we forgive our debtors.
Lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For yours is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory,
forever.
Amen
BLESSING
