Yes, I am Protestant. I was raised in, and still attend, a Methodist church. But I've also attended services in Presbyterian (both USA and PCA); Southern Baptist; Nazarene; Wesleyan; and a variety of 'independent', evangelical churches. I cannot think of a one where we didn't say the Lord's Prayer.

I just found this from the PCA Book of Church Order, Chapter 52:

Public Prayer

52-1. It is proper to begin the public worship in the sanctuary with the Doxology followed by a short prayer, in which the minister shall lead the people, humbly adoring the infinite majesty of the living God, expressing a sense of our distance from Him as creatures, and our unworthiness as sinners; and humbly imploring His gracious presence, the assistance of His Holy Spirit in the duties of His worship, and His acceptance of us through the merits of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It is appropriate that this prayer conclude with the Lord’s Prayer in which all may unite.

I attended a PCA Church in Middle Tennessee for a while, and I know we said the Lord's Prayer at each service.
