SUNDAY, AUGUST 27, 2017
Together we pray with Bishop Grant Hagiya of the California-Pacific Annual Conference, “Praying Our Way Forward” for the week of August 27-September 2, 2017.
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(sins), as we forgive those who trespass(sin) against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
