THE MESSAGE...Owen Cayton

We Are Children of God

God of all hope, you wrap us up in the arms of your grace and call us sons and daughters. Call us into your presence in these moments of worship that we might know your healing and your joy. We pray this in the name of our brother Jesus who taught us to pray for your Kingdom saying, 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. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: for Thine is the Kingdom and the power, and the glory forever. Amen.
