READER 1	Our Father, who art in heaven,
READER 2	You who are a loving and disciplining Parent to us,
READER 3	You who dwell in heavenly glory,
READER 1	Hallow-ed be your Name,
READER 2	May your Name be held in awe by men
READER 3	As holy and set apart and righteous.
READER 1	Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
READER 2	May your Reign be complete
READER 3	May your purposes
READER 2	Though long-delayed
READER 3	Be finally accomplished,
READER 2	As completely here on Planet Earth
READER 3	As they are in heaven above where you dwell in glory.
READER 1	Give us this day our daily bread.
READER 2	Supply us, Lord, the food we need,
READER 3	The food we need today.
READER 2	We don't ask enough bread for the foreseeable future,
READER 3	So that we needn't be continually dependent upon you,
READER 2	But enough bread for today,
READER 3	For our daily hunger
READER 2	Today.
READER 3	And for those needs of all kinds that we experience today.
READER 2	Today.
READER 1	Forgive us our debts,
READER 2	Our sins,
READER 3	Our trespasses,
READER 2	The great unpayable debt we owe you because of our sins.
READER 1	As we forgive our debtors.
READER 3	In the same way that we forgive those who owe us greatly.
READER 2	To the degree that I forgive, O Lord,
READER 3	To that degree forgive me.
READER 1	And lead us not into temptation,
READER 2	Don't allow us to be tempted so greatly that we fall away from you,
READER 3	but deliver us from evil,
READER 2	Deliver us from the evil one,
READER 3	The tempter
READER 2	The deceiver
READER 3	The evil one.
READER 2	Help us, Lord,
READER 3	For we rely upon you.
READER 1	For Thine is the Kingdom,
ALL	The Kingdom
READER 1	And the glory,
ALL	All the glory,
READER 1	And the power,
ALL	All the power,
READER 1	Forever
READER 2	Forever
READER 3	For ever and ever.
READER 1	Amen.
READER 2	Let it be so, Lord.
ALL	Amen.
