The Prayers
The minister says Let us pray with confidence to God our Father .
The prayers conclude with the Lord ’ s Prayer As our Saviour Christ has taught us , we are confident to pray ,
Our Father in heaven , hallowed be your name , your kingdom come , your will be done , on earth as in heaven . Give us today our daily bread . And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us . Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil . For the kingdom , the power , and the glory are yours now and for ever . Amen .
The Commendation & Committal
Holding our love firmly , laying aside all regret gently , we release Dot into the hands of God . Let us commend Dot to the mercy of God , our maker and redeemer .
God alone is holy and just and good . In that confidence , we commend you , Dot to God ’ s mercy , to God ’ s forgiveness and love . Blessed be God the Father , who has caused the light of Christ to shine upon you .
