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 as We forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into

Temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the Power and the glory, forever. Amen.

No. 519 *PASSING OF THE PEACE CALL AND RESPONSE Ms. Jessica Wilson & Ms. Sophie Carter

Board of Stewards One Voice: Gracious God, we remember your servant, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., who had the gift of holy vision. You gifted him with the ability to see, not as the distracted sees, but as one with holy focus. Many Voices: Grant that we, too, might see through the eyes of Christ. One: May we see, as Dr. King did, that “a negative peace which is the absence of tension” is less than “a positive peace which is the presence of justice.” Many: Let us pray that those who work for peace in our world may cry out first for justice. One: May we see that "injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly."

Many: Let us pray that we may see nothing in isolation, but may know ourselves bound to one another and to all people under heaven. One: May we see with Gospel vision the coming of your kingdom, and that no matter “however frustrating the hour, it will not be long, because truth crushed to earth will rise again.” Many: Let us pray that our eyes, too, will witness the glory of the coming of the Lord, that God’s truth is marching on. Amen. WORD FROM THE BOARD OF STEWARDS Ms. Christine Watt Board of Stewards President OFFERTORY & ANTHEM Genesis Gospel Choir
