The Lord be with you People: And also with you
Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them up to the Lord
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God People: It is right to give our thanks and praise
Remembering God’s Acts of Grace:
And so, with your people on earth and all the company of heaven we praise your name and join their unending hymn:
People: 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.
Consecration of Elements: (If you are watching the live stream, have your communion elements present)
And so, in remembrance of these your mighty acts in Jesus Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living sacrifice, in union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery of faith.
People: Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again.
Partaking Together:
The body of Christ offered for you that you may be made whole, take and eat
The cup of sacrifice, forgiving you all your sins that you may do likewise, take and drink.
SENDING FORTH: You Are A Blessing From God. Now Go Be A Blessing!
