At Deep Shift in the Bronx we did a chant of The Lord’s Prayer. You can find the lyrics for this version and an explanation for how to do the chant here. I really appreciated this way of saying the prayer. Another aspect of our worship during that weekend which I really appreciated was the opportunity to respond by going to one of five stations.
Station 1: annointing with oil
Station 2: hands in/on dirt
Station 3: dipping hands in water…making the sign of the cross with water on forehead…remembering our baptism
Station 4: lighting a candle
Station 5: kneeling…standing at a wooden cross

simple. and beautiful. thank you.
by the way: the words “let nothing perturb you etc.” are a little poem of teresa of avila, a spanish mystic of the 16th century. it goes like this:
nada te turbe,
nada te espante,
todo se pasa.
Dios no se muda,
la paciencia
todo lo alcanza;
quien a Dios tiene,
nada le falta:
solo Dios basta.
