Time of Prayer

God of all the families of the world, for most of us it is enough to love but a few people deeply: spouse, friend, child, parent.  But your love is not an exclusive love.  You have given Jesus Christ to us as Savior, as friend, as brother.  And in Christ we have indeed found ourselves at home in your family.  We thank you for Jesus Christ, who greets each person as brother or sister, and summons us to recognize each other as family.

 

Young People’s Message

 

Intercessions

 

                  Pastoral Prayer & Lord’s 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 as we forgive those who trespass against us.  Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for Thine is the kingdom, and the power and the glory forever.  Amen.
