Call to worshiP Cheryl Bittle, Lay Leader We are centered in the promises of God, Caught in the web of grace, Spun in a dance of joy, Welcomed into the house of blessing, Woven into the fabric of trust, Lifted up as children of God, Surrounded by a cloud of witnesses, And moved by a chorus of praise.

the invitation This is the table, not of the Church, but of the Lord. It is to be made ready for those who love God and want to love God more. So come, you who have much faith and you who have little; you who have been here often and you who have not been for a long time; you who have tried to follow and you who have failed.We come to this table because God has invited us and wants to meet us here.
remembering the story
:KDW�ZH�GR�KHUH��ZH�GR�LQ�LPLWDWLRQ�RI�ZKDW�&KULVW�¿UVW�GLG��7R�KLV�IROORZHUV�in every age, Jesus gave an example rooted in the experience he shared with his disciples in an upstairs room in Jerusalem. On the night on which he was betrayed, as they were sitting at a meal together, Jesus took bread, blessed it and broke it and gave it to his friends saying, “This is my body, broken for you. Do this to remember me.”
Later, after they had eaten, Jesus took a cup of wine and said, “This cup is the new relationship with God made possible because of my life. Drink this, all of you, to remember me.”So now we do as Jesus did. We take this bread and this cup. In these, -HVXV�KDV�SURPLVHG�WR�EH�SUHVHQW��WKURXJK�WKHVH�&KULVW�FDQ�PDNH�XV�whole.

blessing the Feast
Gracious God, send now, in kindness, your Holy Spirit to settle on this bread and juice. Fill them with the fullness of Jesus Christ. And let that same Spirit rest on us, to convert us from the patterns of this passing world, until we conform to the shape of him whose food we now share. Amen.
