"Give Thanks"

Give thanks with a grateful heart
Give thanks to the holy one.
Give thanks because he's given
Jesus Christ his Son    [x2]
And now let the weak say I am strong
Let the poor say I am rich
because of what the Lord has done.
Give thanks.

L. For I received from the Lord 
what I also delivered to you, 
that the Lord Jesus on the night 
he was betrayed took bread,
and when he had given thanks, 
he broke it and said,
R: This is my body which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
L: In the same way also the cup, after supper saying,
R: This cup is the new covenant in my blood.  Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.”
L: For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.

World Communion Sunday

Our Special Worship Service Today

To make this service “special” 

we are doing communion in different ways.

When it is time to partake 
of the loaf and cup, 

you will be ushered forward.

Then you will break off 
a piece of bread, 

dip it in the juice and then partake. 

If going down the aisle and back 

would be difficult for you, 

simply inform the usher and 

communion will be brought to you.

Use the time you are waiting 
to be served or after

for meditation and prayer.
