WORSHIP THRU THE BODY

“Preparation”


To participate in the Lord’s Supper you will need a piece of bread and a small cup of juice or wine.


The Apostle Paul in 1 Corinthians 11:27-28 says, “Therefore, whoever eats and drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. A man ought to examine himself before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.


The Great Thanksgiving

Eucharistic Prayer

The Lord is with us.
And with our spirit.
We lift up our hearts.
We lift them up unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.
It is meet and right for us so to do so.

It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should
at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord,
holy Father, almighty, everlasting God.

Therefore with Angels and Archangels, and with all the
company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious
Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts:
Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.
Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High.
Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.


“Lord’s Supper”

In the night in which he was betrayed,
our Lord Jesus took bread,
and gave thanks; broke it,
and gave it to his disciples
saying: Take and eat;
this is my body, given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.

Again, after supper,
He took the cup, gave thanks,
and gave it for all to drink,
saying: This cup is
the new covenant in my blood,
shed for you and for all people
for the forgiveness of sin.
Do this in remembrance of me.

“The Lord’s Prayer”

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,
the power and the glory.
For ever and ever. Amen

“Communion Scriptures”

For all have sinned and fall short of the glory
of God. Romans 3:23

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God
Is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

But God demonstrates his own love for us in this:
While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans 5:8

For it is by grace you have been saved, through
faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of
God—not by works, so that no one can boast.
Ephesians 2:8-9

Yet to all who received him, to those who
believed in his name, he gave the right to
become children of God. John 1:12

“I tell you the truth, whoever hears my word and
believes in the one who sent me has eternal life
and will not be condemned; he has crossed over
from death to life.” John 5:24

“Communion”
The body of Christ, given for you. (take and eat the piece of bread)
The blood of Christ, shed for you. (take and drink the cup of juice or wine)

“Closing Prayer”
We give you thanks,
almighty God, that you
have refreshed us
through the healing
power of this gift of
life, and we pray that
in your mercy you
would strengthen us,
through this gift,
in faith toward you and in
fervent love toward one
another; for the sake of
Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
