CONFESSION AND FORGIVENESS

P Blessed be the holy Trinity, + one God,

The strength of our ancestors,

The host of this meal,

The builder of the city that is to come.

C Amen.

P If we have died with Christ, we will also live with Christ.

Let us confess our sin to the one who is faithful.

~silence for reflection and self-examination~

P God our helper,

C we confess the many ways we have failed to live as your disciples.

We have not finished what we began. We have feasted with friends

but ignored strangers. We have been captivated by our possessions.

Lift our burdens, gracious God. Refresh our hearts and forgive our

sin. Raise us to the new life you have chosen for us in Jesus Christ,

our Savior and Lord. Amen.

P There is rejoicing in heaven when sinners repent. Put your trust in

these promises: God will never leave you or forsake you. You who

were lost have been found. For the sake of + Jesus Christ, your

sins are forgiven. Rejoice with the angels at this good news.

C Amen.

KID TALK

OFFERING “Let All the People Praise” - Craig Courtney

Sing praise to the Father, sing praise to

the Son, sing praise to the Spirit, our

God, Three in One. Let all the people

praise the name of the Lord. (repeat)

All voices and instruments praising

together; the people are many,

the body is one. In singing and dancing,

in writing and painting; one in the Spirit,

the old and the young.

Sing praise to the Father, sing praise to

the Son, sing praise to the Spirit, our

God, Three in One. Let all the people

praise the name of the Lord.

The Lord has been faithful to all

generations, walking beside us through

smoke and through flame. In sunshine and

shadow, protecting, providing; in all

times and seasons, ever the same!

O God, our help in ages past, our hope

for years to come, our shelter from the

stormy blast, and our eternal home!

All praise to the Father, all praise to the

Son, all praise to the Spirit, our God,

Three in One. Let all the people praise

the name of the Lord. (repeat)

SERVICE OF HOLY COMMUNION WORDS OF INSTITUTION COMMUNION MUSIC “Children of the Heavenly Father” - Swedish hymn

Children of the heav'nly Father

Safely in his bosom gather.

Nestling bird or star in heaven

Such a refuge ne'er was given.

God his own doth tend and nourish

In his holy courts they flourish.

From all evil things he spares them

In his mighty arms he bears them.

Neither life nor death shall ever

From the Lord his children sever.

Unto them his grace he showeth

And their sorrows all he knoweth.

Though he giveth or he taketh

God his children ne'er forsaketh.

His the loving purpose solely

To preserve them pure and holy.

POST-COMMUNION PRAYERS THE LORD’S PRAYER

C Our Father, who art in heaven,

hallowed be thy name,

thy kingdom come,

thy will be done,

on earth as it is in heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread;

and forgive us our trespasses,

as we forgive those

who trespass against us;

and lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For thine is the kingdom,

and the power, and the glory,

forever and ever. Amen.
