Sept. 8/9 – Who, What, and Why?

Pretend that you are that stereotypical “sleazy used car salesman.” A little old lady comes to you looking to buy a car, and all you have on the lot is a broken-

down station wagon. Your job is to convince her that it’s the car she has always dreamed of… what would your

sales pitch be?

Prayer/VikingFacts!™

Faðir vor; þú sem ert á himnum. Helgist þitt nafn. Til komi þitt ríki. Verði þinn

vilji, svo á jörðu sem á himni.

Gef oss í dag vort daglegt brauð.

Og fyrirgef oss vorar skuldir; svo sem vér og fyrirgefum

vorum skuldunautum. Eigi leið þú oss í freistni, heldur frelsa oss frá illu.

Amen.

Faðir vor; þú sem ert á himnum. Helgist þitt

nafn.
