GATHERING AS GOD'S PEOPLE:

--Acknowledgement of the Territory:
  

We acknowledge that this land on which we live and worship has been cared for since time immemorial. We acknowledge those who were stewards of the land before our ancestors came. We thank the Algonquin, also known as the Attawandaron, Anishnaabe, Haudenosaunee, Leni-Lunaape and Wendat people for the blessing of sharing this land.  With open hearts we commit ourselves to living into right relations with love and respect for all. 

--Lighting of the Lenten Candle

--Opening prayer and the Lord's prayer

The Lord's Prayer:

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 daily bread.  And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those that trespass against us.  And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.  For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever.  Amen.
