Today we are beginning a short series on the most familiar and famous prayer in the history of the church. We call it the Lord’s Prayer.

Here at The Gathering, we say these words every single week. Many of us grew up learning, repeating and reciting these words. But sometimes it is precisely the most familiar parts of our faith, that we don’t spend time thinking about. And yet they are so powerful, shaping not only how we understand God, but how we understand prayer!

So beginning today we are going to actually talk about these words that we so regularly speak, but do not always think about, beginning with "Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name."
