In Jesus’ name
We bow before You
Amen and Amen!

Midday
Pray the Lord’s Prayer as your midday prayer
As we yield to God’s Kingdom ways

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread
And forgive us our sins
As we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation
But deliver us from evil.
For Yours is the kingdom, the power and the glory.
Now and for ever
Amen

LORD God, our God, receive our praise
For who You are

May you continue to reach and save people
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done across our world
In our community, in our city.
In Jesus’ name. Amen.
