THE EUCHARIST (standing)
Celebrant: The Lord is here.
People: His Spirit is with us.
Celebrant: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
Celebrant: It is right, and a good and joyful thing…Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:
All: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory! Hosanna in the highest! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!
(kneeling if able as the Celebrant continues...)
Celebrant:…Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:
All: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
Celebrant: …And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray:
All: 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, for ever and ever. Amen.
Celebrant: Alleluia. Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed, once for all upon the cross.
All: Therefore let us keep a joyful and holy feast with the Lord. Alleluia!
Celebrant: The gifts of God for the People of God. Eat and drink in remembrance that Christ died for you and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.
(All are welcome at the Table of our Lord. Christians extend your palms to receive the bread; you may dip it in the first cup of wine and then eat it, or eat it first then then drink from the common cup, the second cup. Non-Christians cross your arms across your chest to receive a prayer of blessing.)
I Surrender All (pg. 79)
Celebrant: Let us pray.
All: Almighty God, we thank you for feeding us with the body and blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Through him we offer you our souls and bodies to be a living sacrifice. Send us out in the power of your Spirit to live and work to your praise and glory. Amen.
