Guiding Vision

 

To be a community that creatively risks

sharing the transforming love of Jesus …

… in all our relationships

   … in every situation

    … with all people

                    

                 

                      

 

 

 

The Lord’s Prayer

 

Our Father which 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 sins, as we forgive those who sin 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 and ever.  Amen
