Ecumenical Lord’s Prayer

During the month of June we use the Ecumenical Lord’s Prayer translation in worship.  Like many of you, I (Pastor Catherine), love the Lord’s Prayer that we say each week in worship. It is in my bones. I am not trying to take this away from us, and we return to it in July.

The reason for using the Ecumenical version in June is to remind ourselves of the expanse of God’s church. We begin June with Pentecost Sunday when the Holy Spirit is poured out and the church of Christ begins to take shape. In celebration of the ways the church takes shape in the world, we use this translation this month.
