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.

(ending in the Lord's Prayer):

*Choral Benediction     

Share His love by telling what 

the Lord has done for you,
Share His love by 

sharing of your faith,
and show the world that 

Jesus Christ is real to you 
ev'ry moment, ev'ry day.
