Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come. Your 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 Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
 
The Assurance of Pardon (Unison)

For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.
