As the brethren used to gather, In the name of Christ to sup, Then with thanks to God the Father, Break the bread and bless the cup, Alleluia! Alleluia! So knit Thou our friendship up. All our meals and all our living, Make as sacraments of Thee, That by caring, helping, giving, We may true disciples be. Alleluia! Alleluia! We will serve Thee faithfully.

CELEBRATE THE SACRAMENT THE COMMUNION PRAYER Pastor: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Pastor: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them up to the Lord. Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give our thanks and praise. Pastor: Holy and loving God, we gather at this table giving you thanks for the gift of your kindness shown to us in your Son Jesus Christ. In his life, he was a friend to sinners, touching the outcast, healing the broken, and proclaiming your love for the world. In his death, he paid the price for our sin that we might stand before you joyfully and without fear. As we receive the bread and the cup, pour out your Holy Spirit on us that we might extend your kindness to the world. Through your Son Jesus Christ, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty God, now and forever. Amen.
“I am the bread of life. All who come to me shall not hunger, and all who believe in me shall never be thirsty.” —John 6:35
WORDS OF INSTITUTION/DISTRIBUTION OF THE BREAD & CUP To symbolize our individual experience of God’s grace, please partake of the bread* as it is served. To symbolize our common experience together of God’s grace, please retain the cup until all have been served. * The communion bread was made gluten free but not cut in a dedicated facility.
UNISON PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING Gracious and loving God, you have made us one in the body of Christ, and nourished us at your table with holy food and drink. Thank you for feeding our hunger and relieving our thirst. Now send us into the world to do the work you have given us to do: to find the lost and lonely, to heal broken souls, to free prisoners, and to love in Jesus’ name. Grant us strength to persevere in resisting evil, and to proclaim in all we say and do your good news in Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.
