Leader:  As disciples (that is “learners”), we come to worship God and grow in faith.
People:  Seeking to grow in our faith, we yearn to have the same mind in us that was in Christ Jesus.
Leader:  Jesus, teacher and healer, born in human likeness, was raised up from death and given the name above every name.

Lord’s Prayer (use debts)
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.

Forever. Amen.
