(Our Father) Our Father who art in Heaven, Hollowed be Thy Name; Thy Kingdom come; Thy will be done, On Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation deliver us from evil. Amen. Welcome to Computer Subject Computers, Big and Small With Teacher Everly Learning Objectives
