*Invocation and Lord’s Prayer (unison)
God of Heave and earth, we give you thanks for loving us even when our priorities are not Christ-centered. We put tings and activities before you and we know that it is wrong. We pray that you help us to put you first in our daily life. We pray that others will know you through our words, our actions, and our love. We make a commitment to you that my family will serve only you.
We pray the prayer you taught 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.

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
