PRELUDE
We are excited that you are worshiping with Gethsemane today.
OPENING PRAYER: Oh Holy God of heaven and earth, we worship You! We know it is better to be in your house than a thousand elsewhere. As we gather in this sacred space, help us to see You, feel You, and to know
You more. In response, may You dwell in us as we seek to dwell into your goodness and grace. We ask this in Jesus’ name. Amen.

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. Amen.
