PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING Blessed are you, God of heaven and earth. In great love you sent Jesus, your eternal word
made flesh, to save and redeem us and to heal all the world.
In the night …
Send your Holy Spirit on us and these gifts of bread of wine, that we who receive these gifts
may show forth the wonder of the Child, and live to the praise of your glory. Amen.
LORD’S PRAYER 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.
DISTRIBUTION OF COMMUNION Tonight we commune at stations across the front of the church. The bread is dipped into the red wine or
white grape juice, or you may drink from the cup. Gluten-free bread is available. We welcome all who
desire to receive the Lord’s body and blood for the renewal of life to join us for Holy Communion. Please
