Lord's Prayer
"Our Father" recitation
The Lord's Prayer is the prayer Jesus taught his disciples in the New Testament, beginning "Our Father, who art in heaven." It is central to Christian worship across denominations, recited in church services, private devotion, and ceremonial occasions.
We closed the service with the Lord's Prayer.
Also called the Our Father or Pater Noster.
