you may use the communion offering envelope to contribute throughout the month.

THE LORD’S PRAYER (Unison) 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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead

us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
