Opening Prayer
Trinity of love, inviting us to abide with you;
May we follow the Spirit of truth
Through desert wild and city street,
Rutted field and snowbound height,
Battleground and market square,
That your command to love might speak to the heart
Of the manifold world,
Through Jesus Christ our brother. Amen

The 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.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Doxology
Glory to God, whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation,
in the church and in Christ Jesus,
For ever and ever. Amen
Benediction
The love of the Lord Jesus draw us to himself;
the power of the Lord Jesus strengthen us in his service;
the joy of the Lord Jesus fill our hearts;
and the blessing of God almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,
be among us and remain with us always. Amen.
Closing Hymn – O Jesus I Have Promised
