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, forever and ever.
Amen.

NOTICES
We are most grateful to the
Allegro Singers for leading the singing in our worship tonight and to the
organist Ms Fan Lai. Our thanks too to
those who read the lessons. There will
be a collection during the singing of “While Shepherds watched their flocks
by night”, which will be shared between The Little Sisters of the Poor and
the Appeal for Christmas Gifts for seafarers.
We wish you and
yours loved ones
all the blessings
of Christmas.
