Everything that you need to participate fully in worship is included in the printed bulletin. The three hymns are numbered in the bulletin and indicate the hymn that can be found in the New Century Hymnal (located on the rack of the pew in front of you). To follow the order of worship, begin with the off-white worship guide. The colored insert provides more information about CUCC, as well as contains the Church Covenant that is recited following the sermon.
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 debts as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen
