ORDER OF SERVICE

 

Welcome

 

Invocation

 

In the name of the Father, and of + the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

 

Reflection

 

He washed their feet.

He shared his food.

He was angry, anxious, desperate, in tears.

Then he stood up, dusted himself down, full of resolve.

He knew what had to be done.

 

Lord’s Prayer

 

Words of Institution and communion

 

In the night

In which he was betrayed

Our Lord Jesus took bread,

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. (We eat the bread together)

 

Again, after supper,

He took the cup,

Gave thanks,

And gave it to his disciples,

Saying:

Take and drink;

This is the new covenant in my blood,

Given for you and for all people for the forgiveness of sin.

Do this in remembrance of me. (We drink the wine together)

 

Silence

 

Dismissa

 

We have now received the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

May he keep us in eternal life and in eternal peace.

Amen.

 

Closing hymn

 

Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
