The New Year:
Following the Lord's Prayer
As we move from the holiday season into the New Year, we
will begin an in-depth study of the Lord's Prayer. Following
Epiphany Sunday on January 3, we will dedicate four Sundays
to a line-by-line analysis of Christ's words. We speak the Lord's
Prayer as a congregation weekly, but how do we keep the
language and the meaning fresh and relatable to our changing
lives? How do we avoid autopilot and keep ourselves truly
mindful of what we are saying to God when we pray this
prayer?
Grandview's music department will be presenting various
settings of the Lord's Prayer to further enhance the lesson and
demonstrate the power and interpretation of the text. We are
delighted to begin 2016 with such a rich, fulfilling focus.
