Invocation and Lord’s Prayer:
Bountiful God, we gather as your people. How good it is that we are together to experience the joy of your presence. We offer to you the words and actions of worship. Meet us here that your Spirit may lead us to be transformed with renewed hearts and minds. Teach us to embrace your loving purpose for all creation. Bind us together as a loving, forgiving, rejoicing serving company of disciples of Jesus.
Commission us to be instruments of peace and tools of service as we pray as Jesus teaches us. “Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever.” Amen.

Prayer for Bread & Cup & Lord’s Prayer Wes Alford
Words of Institution
Leader: On the night when Jesus was betrayed he took a loaf of bread
People: and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me."
Leader: In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me."
All: For as often as we eat this bread and drink the cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until he returns. I Cor. 11:23-26
The Lord’s Supper “Dedication Medley”
The Bread and Cup in Communion represent the life, death
and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. They nourish us as individuals and as a community of faith in our life together in His name.
Hymn “Blest Be the Tie That Binds”
Blest be the tie that binds our hearts in Christian love: the fellowship of kindred minds is like to that above.
