Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be Your Name.
Your kingdom come
Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

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

As we pray for the Church in all corners of our world
To serve and speak out of Jesus.
In His saving name, Amen.
