*Responsive Prayer
(inspired by Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4)
High School Student (in-person service)
Liturgist (online service)
Liturgist: Our Father who art in heaven:
People: remind us this day that you are not only creation's
Architect, but you are the Babe who cried for food, the
teenager who knew loneliness, the adult who felt the
rejection of loved ones.
Liturgist: Hallowed by Thy name:
People: yours is the name spun by the stars; yours is the name
whispered by the dying; yours is the name written on our
hearts.
Liturgist: Thy Kingdom come:
People: may it be a kingdom of peace, not prejudice;
may it be a kingdom of sharing, not grasping;
may it be a kingdom of hope, not hurting.
Liturgist: Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven:
People: may your Word be more than print on a page;
may your justice be more than a wish in our hearts;
may your will become our deepest desire.
Liturgist: Give us this day our daily bread:
People: let it fill us in the empty moments of our lives; let it slip
out of our hands to mend the brokenness of our world.
Liturgist: And forgive us our debts as we forgive others:
People: may those who have hurt us find a welcome in our hearts,
even as we have found our home in yours.
Liturgist: And lead us not into temptation:
People: turn our hearts from the temptations of our world;
and the simple things that turn us from you.
Liturgist: Keep us from thinking we are so important
People: that we ignore those around us.
Help us to always bring others to you in prayer,
before we bring ourselves, as we do in these moments:
Liturgist: But deliver us from evil:
People: not just great evils of war and hunger, but from
ingratitude, self-love, pride, all those little evils that
do such great harm.
Liturgist: For thine is the kingdom:
People: our heart's true longing; and the power:
which you set aside to serve us in weakness;
Liturgist: and the glory:
People: which we would mirror in our lives,
our bodies, our minds, our souls,
This day and every day. Forever and ever. Amen

Commission and Benediction
Pastor Seok-Hwan and Middle School Student
Student (in-person service):
Go now into the world, strengthened by the gifts
with which Christ has fed you.
Be generous to others, for Christ has given extravagantly.
Live by God’s word, avoiding lies and violence.
Walk in God’s paths and never stray.
And may God’s wonderful love be with you everywhere;
May Christ Jesus feed you with his body and word;
And may the Holy Spirit confirm the truth in you
and fill you with God’s presence always.
Pastor (in-person service):
We go in peace to love and serve the Lord,
In the name of Christ. Amen.
