17 the peace:
By the spirit of God we are all one
family, we join together with Christ to share this meal, to drink
from his cup of crucifixion and salvation,we do so gladly and freely
when Christ was risen he stood among
the disciples and said “Peace be with you”
They were glad to see the lord and
welcomed each other saying: “Christ be always with you and also
with you Alleluia!
Let us as one family greet each other
now by shaking of hand and saying:
“Christ be always with you
and also with you Alleluia!”
19: The preparation of the gift
When Christ met with the disciples
before his crucifixion they shared a meal, during which Christ took a
loaf of bread and broke it saying this is my body broken for you
Overseer takes
the bread and breaks it
Christ is the bread of life, he who
believes in this will not hunger
After this Christ pick up a cup full of
wine saying: He who drink from my cup will never go thirsty
Overseer hold up
grail
We drink happily from the cup of
Christ for this us the cup of our salvation, we do this in
remembrance of the blood Christ given for the forgiveness of us all
20: Thanksgiving
We have been joined together by the
spirit of our heavenly father; we have been joined together by the
love of his Son Jesus Christ so let us say together
The lord is with us
We lift up our hearts to you lord
We gladly give you our thanks and
praise
Blessing and honour glory and love
are yours our heavenly shepherd
When we wandered from you in our sin
You sought us with you steadfast love
And did not give us up.
In the fullness of time you sent your
Son
To be our Saviour and Deliverer.
Made of flesh and blood, he lived our
life
And died our death upon the cross.
All of this was done to save us
All of this was done to call us
Blessing and honour glory and love
are yours our saviour
He took bread and broke and gave thanks
to God
and said: Take this, all of you, and
eat it.
This is my body given for you
eat this in remembrance of
me
Blessing and honour glory and love
are yours our eternal host
When supper was
ended,
he took the cup
and gave thanks,
gave it to them
saying
Drink from it all
of you
This is the blood
of the new covenant,
poured out for you
and for everyone
It is split for
the forgiveness of thins
Drink this in
remembrance of me
Blessing and
honour glory and love are yours great redeemer
We find ourselves sinners once more
collected at that holy table
we celebrate that in Adam all people
shall die
So in Christ all shall be made alive
once more
We come to be forgiven, we come to
bead fed and watered
We come to sit with Christ and to
share his mission with him
We come to be saved and to be healed
and remade
We come because you still in your
glory call us
Sinners though we are
