Petitions and Supplications, Ending with the Lord’s Prayer Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.

~ Matthew 6.9-13 (KJV)

Doxology (and/or closing song) Praise God fromwhom all blessings flow; Praise Him all creatures here below; Praise Him above ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen. Departing to Serve

Benediction In this was love, Lord Jesus: you came down from heaven to earth and gave your life to redeem your own out of the world. For this we are forever grateful, for your suffering love that won us back to the Father. Now, fill us with that same love that we may become vessels and servants of that Calvary kind of love in the places where we live and work. In your name we pray, amen. Affirmation for the Day Sunday: We love God and others because God first loved us. Monday: We love because God first loved us. Tuesday: Anyone who claims to love God but hates others is not a true disciple of Christ. Wednesday: Those who claim to love the unseen Lord should love the people they see every day.
