Claiming Faith: Claiming Allegiance

Confession of Faith Articles 20, 23, 24

Our Father who art 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.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from the evil one.
