Jason Abraham, Elder & candidate for Moderator-Elect

Leader: O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is gracious;
his mercy endures for ever.
People: Let those whom the LORD has redeemed give thanks,
whom he has delivered from the hand of the enemy.
Leader: Oh, that they would therefore praise the LORD for his goodness,
and declare the wonders that he does for the children of men!
People: For he satisfies the empty soul
and fills the hungry soul with goodness.”

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 coming day’s bread;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
And lead us not into trial, but deliver us from the Evil One.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen.
