Minister………Rev. Robert D. Larimer

Welcome to Blaine Christian Church where

our purpose is to live and share the love

of God as revealed in Jesus Christ through

the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

The Lord’s Prayer

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.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom and the power

and the glory forever. Amen.
