Call to Worship
L: Winter tress, Graceful against a cool, crisp sky. Lines etched like lace, full of promise.
R: Winter people. Hushed by the stillness of a cold clear night.
L: Winter dreams. Visions of crocuses poking their way through the cold earth and buds swelling in response to warm winds.
R: Winter God. Steadfast and beckoning, bearing the promise of new life.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,

When I feel afraid,
think I've lost my way,
think I've lost my way,
Still You’re right there beside me,
Nothing will I fear
as long as you are near
as long as you are near
please be near me till the end.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.
Thy word is a lamp unto my feet,
and a light unto my path.

Words of Institution
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.
Prayer to Bless the Loaf and Cup
Sharing of the Elements
(All who believe that Jesus Christ
is Lord are welcome to His table.
Please partake as the elements are passed to you.)
Prayer of Thanksgiving
(ending in the Lord's Prayer):
"Bless the Father"
Bless the Father, bless the Son,
bless the Spirit, the Three in One.
Holy Father, Holy Son,
Holy Spirit, the Three in One. [repeat]
