LORD'S / OUR FATHER PRAYER
(in the version or language as you know)

Our God/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 who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power,
and the glory, for ever. Amen.

📜 In this 250th anniversary year, two remarkable opportunities to explore Methodist history — right here in New Jersey.

On May 12, a faith forum examines the intersection of church history and justice at Pennington UMC. On May 13, a historical tour traces the Methodist movement through the landscape of the American Revolution — Washington's Crossing, Monmouth Battlefield, Princeton Theological Seminary's archives, and more.

For anyone who found last week's Great Awakening reflection compelling, this tour is history you can walk through rather than just read about.

Both events are open to all. Learn more at the link in our bio.

💙 What a Sunday.

Today we worshipped, we celebrated, and we sent Pastor Esther Somp forth with our love and our blessing. She came to us as an intern and leaves as a pastor fully formed — and Bishop Janes is better for having known her.

Pastor Esther — we are grateful. Go and lead courageously. 🙏

Come as you are.
