Confession
Word of Forgiveness
Song of Praise Glory in the Highest by Jonathan Rundman
Chorus
Glory in the highest
Glory be to God
Glory in the highest
and peace to all the earth
Shaper of the universe
Thanks and praise we sing
Loving father, caring mother
Hold us in your wings
Jesus Christ the Lamb of God
You wash our sins away
At your table all are welcome
Hear us as we pray
Holy Spirit source of life
Burning wild and free
You are God the three in one
Such a mystery

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, forever and ever. Amen.
