T-A photo Church news On the last Sunday before Rev. and Mrs. Brown start their holidays, Mr. Brown spoke on “The Model Prayer” from Luke 11:1-13, The Lord’s Prayer.He said it was a “model” prayer, complete in every way, but still a model or a summary. To come to God in Prayer, first we must show adoration “Hallowed Be Thy Name” before asking for our needs and the needs of others. “Our Father” implies son and daughtership and each one who receives Jesus, receives God as his or her Father. We pray in “Jesus name” as He is our “go between” to God. What a privilege it is to have Christ taking such an active part in our prayers. May we recognize God’s power and glory and see His Almighty hand more clearly answering our prayers day by day.
