Online Worship...OUR FATHER
/Today we enter into a third series from the Narrative Lectionary: The Lord's Prayer. Luther once said that if people have trouble praying they should use the Lord's Prayer...not as rote recotation but deep pndering and contemplation...to satrt out with OUR ...just think of wat this means...not MY but OUR ...a wonderful, intimate connection not only to God but to all humanity...and then FATHER. Luther said sometimes he spent two to three hours praying just those two words....
