Twenty-Seventh Sunday After Pentecost
 As We Gather
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 and ever.
Amen. |
