Welcome, brothers and sisters in Christ,
as we gather for
Praise Prayer, Word and Worship!
“The whole of each of our lives and our life together
is the landscape for God’s welcoming, salving work.
Salvation is happening all the time.
God’s welcome is happening all the time.
It is a welcome feast.”

PRAYER OF INTERCESSION (In unison after 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,

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever. Amen
(Matthew 6:9-13)
