Invitation to the Lord's Table
THE LORD'S SUPPER
As a sign of our unity in Christ, let us hold the cup
until all have been served and partake together.
The Invitation

The Lord be with you.
Many:
And also with you.
One:
Lift up your hearts.
Many:
We lift them up to the Lord.
One:
Let us give our thanks to the Lord our God.
Many:
It is right to give our thanks and praise.
The Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

God of grace, thank you for welcoming us at this table and feeding us with Christ’s presence. Now send us with the power of your Spirit into all the places of our world that need the good news of your redeeming love. Amen.
