HYMN 1:."Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" #464 


PRAYER FOR CONFESSION:. (In Unison)

God of justice and love, you take the sins of
the world; have mercy upon us as we confess our sins. We call you God of creation, yet we serve idols of our own making. We confess Christ as our Savior, yet we rely on elaborate security systems for our protection. We claim the indwelling Spirit, yet we abide by our own counsel. Forgive our double-mindedness and
through Christ make us whole. Amen.


ASSURANCE OF PARDON:..

Leader: Through Jesus Christ we have
obtained access to the grace in which we
stand, and we can rejoice in the hope of
sharing the glory of God. “God’s love has been poured into our hearts through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.” Our
assurance rests in the triune God, who grants us new life. Amen.


GLORIA PATRI: ..........................(Unison)

Glory be to Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.  Amen. Amen.


PASSING THE PEACE:

Leader: Since God has forgiven us in Christ, let us forgive one another. The peace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with all of you.

People: And peace be with you also.


   “ I’VE GOT PEACE LIKE RIVER”   

I've got PEACE like a river (3Xs) in my soul - repeat

I've got JOY like a fountain(3Xs) in my soul - repeat
I've got LOVE like an ocean(3Xs) in my soul- repeat

PRAYER FOR ILLUMINATION:(In Unison)

Bread of Heaven—feed us ‘til we want no
more. With open hearts and minds we come
with expectation to hear the life-giving Word from above. Let the Holy Spirit anoint the Word and apply it to our minds that we be fed and strengthened to do the will of God for our lives in the earth and unto eternity. In the name of Christ Jesus we pray in faith and with thanksgiving. Amen!

COMMUNION PRAYER:
Friends: This is the joyful feast of the people of God! People will come from east and, west and from north and south and sit at table in the kingdom of God. This is the Lord's Table. Our Savior invites those who trust him to share the feast which he has prepared.


P: The Lord be with you.
C: And also with you.
P: Lift up your hearts!
C: We lift them up to the Lord.
P: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
C: For it is holy and right to do so.


P: Holy and right it is, and our joyful duty to give thanks to you at all times and in all places, O Lord our Creator, almighty and everlasting God! You created Heaven with all its hosts and the earth with all its plenty. You have given us Life and being and preserved us by your providence. But you have shown us the fullness of your love in sending into the world your Son, Jesus Christ, the eternal Word made flesh for us and for our salvation. For the precious gift of this mighty Savior who has reconciled us to you, we praise and bless you, O God. With your whole Church on earth and with all the company of heaven, we worship and adore your glorious name. Great and wonderful are your works, Lord God Almighty. Your ways are just and true. With people of faith, from all times and places, we lift our hearts in joyful praise, for you alone are holy.


All: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of hosts!
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he that comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest!


P: Most righteous God, we remember in this Supper the perfect sacrifice offered once on the cross by our Lord Jesus Christ for the sin of the whole world. In the joy of his resurrection and in expectation of his coming again, we offer ourselves to you as holy and living sacrifices. Together we proclaim the mystery of the faith:


All: Christ has died! Christ is risen! Christ will come again.


P: Holy Father, we thank you for your Son, Jesus, who lived with us sharing joy and sorrow. He told your story, healed the sick, and was a friend of sinners. Obeying you, he took up his cross and was murdered by men and women he loved. We praise you that he is not dead but is risen to rule the' world; and that he is still the friend of sinners. We trust him to overcome every power to hurt or divide us, so that, when you bring in your promised Kingdom, we will celebrate victory with him.


Remembering the Lord Jesus, we break bread and share one cup, announcing his death for the sins of the world, and telling of his resurrection to all people and nations.


P: At this time brothers and sisters, please lift your bread or crackers as I continue: The Lord Jesus, on the night of his arrest, took bread and after giving thanks to God, broke it and said; "This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me." Ministering in his name, I offer this bread to you.


In the same way, he took the cup after supper, and said: "This cup is the new covenant sealed in my blood, whenever you drink it, do this, remembering me." Ministering in his name, I offer this cup to you.


Every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes.


P: Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never be hungry; he who believes in me shall never thirst." Jesus said, "I am the vine, you are the branches. Cut off from me you can do nothing." The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Let the Church say, Amen.


P: Bless the Lord O my soul;
C: And all that is within me, bless His Holy name!


UNISON: Alleluia! For the Lord our God - The Almighty has come into His Kingdom! Let us rejoice, let us be glad with all our hearts. Let us give Him the glory for ever and ever. Amen!

HYMN 1:."Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee" #464        

1. Joyful, joyful, we adore You,

God of glory, Lord of love;

Hearts unfold like flow'rs before You,

Op'ning to the sun above.

Melt the clouds of sin and sadness;

Drive the dark of doubt away;

Giver of immortal gladness,

Fill us with the light of day!


2. All Your works with joy surround You, Earth and heav'n reflect Your rays,

Stars and angels sing around You,

Center of unbroken praise;

Field and forest, vale and mountain,

Flow'ry meadow, flashing sea,

Chanting bird and flowing fountain

Praising You eternally!


3. Always giving and forgiving,

Ever blessing, ever blest,

Well-spring of the joy of living,

Ocean-depth of happy rest!

Loving Father, Christ our Brother,

Let Your light upon us shine;

Teach us how to love each other,

Lift us to the joy divine.


4. Mortals, join the mighty chorus,

Which the morning stars began;

God's own love is reigning o’er us,

Joining people hand in hand.

Ever singing, march we onward,

Victors in the midst of strife;

Joyful music leads us sunward

In the triumph song of life.
















---------------------------------------------

HYMN 2:."They Know We Are Christians by our Love" #2223

And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love,

We will walk with each other, we will walk hand in hand;

And together we'll spread the news that God is in our land.


And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love,

yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.


We Will work with each other, we will work side by side;

We will work with each other, we will work side by side;

And we'll guard each man's dignity and save each man's pride.


And they'll know we are Christians by our love, by our love,

yes, they'll know we are Christians by our love.


All praise to the Father, from whom all things come;

And all praise to Christ Jesus, His only Son.

And all praise to the Spirit who makes us one.
