I join with all who are praying *
to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Opening Prayer
We have been created and saved to unite in worship before You. There are times when we have worshiped together, tasting the joy of finally coming home as Your beloved daughters and sons. But we come to You now as a broken household. Minor differences have sometimes shattered friendships in the family of faith. At times we have ignored, despised or offended one another. Bring us together again. Train us in what is good. Restore what is pleasant. And bring to life the mighty blessing of being together as Your children.
- Seek God for the City
Observe a time of silence before the Lord

Praying Matthew 6:7-13 (New International Version)
"And when you pray, do not heap up empty phrases as the Gentiles do, for they think that they will be heard for their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him. Pray then like this: *
Our Father 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 also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil."
Response to the Scripture
Where love and charity abide, that is where God dwells.
Draw near to God’s throne of grace
with the thanksgivings, prayers, & intercessions that are on your heart

Even so, Lord Jesus, come quickly. *
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Ending Prayer
Grant, O God, that your holy and life-giving Spirit may so move every human heart, that barriers which divide us may crumble, suspicions disappear, and hatreds cease; that our divisions being healed, we may live in justice and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
