Blessed by God, We Respond Prayers of the People

The Sacrament of Holy Communion In the United Methodist tradition, the table is open to anyone seeking to know God. We use “intinction”, dipping

the bread in the cup. You may bring your regular offerings forward when you come. The Great Thanksgiving The Lord be with you, And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them up to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord, our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.

...we praise your name and join in their unending hymn:

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might. Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the Highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the Highest.

...as we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again! The Lord’s Prayer 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.
