On the night that he washed his disciples’ feet, he took bread, and gave thanks, broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying: Take and eat; this is my body, given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.
Again, after supper, he took the cup, gave thanks, and gave it for all to drink, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood, shed for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin. Do this for the remembrance of me.
With Lazarus we wait in our tomb, we hear you call our name, and we come out from our death into your life. With Mary Magdalene we cry out, We have seen the Lord. We have seen the Lord.
Breathe your Spirit of power on us. Nourish us with your living water, and sustain us with the body and blood of your Son. Claim us as your friends. Birth us anew and enlighten our eyes. Unbind us, that as your servants we may unbind one another. Glory to you, O God! Glory to you, O God!

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and forever.
Amen.
Padre nuestro que estás en el cielo, santificado sea tu nombre. Venga tu reino. Hágase tu voluntad en la tierra como en el cielo. Danos hoy nuestro pan de cada día.
Perdona nuestras ofensas como también nosotros perdonamos a los que nos ofenden. No nos dejes caer en tentación y líbranos del mal.
Porque tuyo es el reino, tuyo es el poder y tuya es la gloria, ahora y siempre. Amén.

Holy Communion at LSM
Celebrations of Holy Communion (also called Eucharist) at Lutheran Summer Music are public worship services. All are welcome at the table of our Lord Jesus Christ, but no one is required to commune. Any who hear our Lord’s invitation may commune at the table of Jesus Christ. Trusting in the forgiveness God gives us in baptism, we come to the table where the crucified and risen Christ is truly present in bread and wine, giving us his body and blood as food and drink.
You may come forward at the direction of an usher, following others up the right side of the chancel steps. Please follow the direction of an usher to an open station around the altar where you may stand or kneel. The bread is gluten-free, and we offer both regular wine (from a common cup) and alcoholfree wine (poured into individual cups, available at the top of the chancel steps). Receive the bread first with an open hand and eat immediately, followed by regular wine from the common (first) chalice or
alcohol-free wine from the pouring (second) chalice. An additional communion station will be available at floor level near the base of the chancel steps.
If your church tradition or personal conviction would not have you receive the bread and wine, you may come forward in the same line with those communing for words of blessing at the table with others (show this by crossing your arms and hands over your shoulder) or remain in your chair and join in singing in the spirit of the Kyrie, “for the peace of the whole world, for the well-being of the church of God, and for the unity of all.”

Amen.
SENDING
prayer for travel O God, our beginning and our end, you kept Abraham and Sarah in safety throughout the days of their pilgrimage, you led the children of Israel through the midst of the sea, and by a star you led the magi to the infant Jesus. Protect and guide us now as we set out to travel. Make our ways safe and our homecomings joyful, and bring us at last to our heavenly home, where you dwell in glory with our Lord Jesus Christ and the life-giving Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
blessing
The Lord bless you and keep you. The Lord’s face shine on you with grace and mercy. The Lord look upon you with favor and + give you peace. Amen.
