How We're Different
Whosoever thou art that enterest this Church know that the Lord Christ is here in His Holy Sacrament Reserved;
kneel then, and adore Him; and pray
for thyself, for those who minister and worship here; nor forget the souls of the faithful departed.
(DeKoven prayer on Northwest Church Door since the late 19th Century)
Traditional Liturgy
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
