EUCHARISTIC HYMN “ONE BREAD, ONE
BODY” UMH#
620
Refrain:
One
bread, one body, one Lord of all, one cup of blessing which we bless, and we,
though many throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord.
Gentile
or Jew, servant or free, woman or man, no more. R
Many
the gifts, many the works. One in the Lord of all. R
Grain
for the fields, scattered and grown, gathered to one, for all. R
TAKING THE BREAD
AND CUP
The pastor,
standing behind the Lord’s table facing the people through Breaking the Bread,
takes the bread and cup; and the bread and wine are prepared for the meal.
THE
GREAT THANKSGIVING
Presider:
The Lord be
with you.
People: And with thy spirit.
Pastor: Lift up your hearts. The pastor may lift up hands and keep them raised.
People: We lift them up unto the Lord.
Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord
our God.
People: It is right to give our thanks
and praise.
Pastor: It is right, and a good and
joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, God Almighty. From
the rising of the sun to its setting your name is praised among all peoples.
Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with your people on earth and all
the company of heaven who forever sing this hymn to the glory of your name:
The pastor may
lower hands. The people sing:
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.
The pastor may
raise hands.
Pastor: Holy are you, and blessed is
your Son Jesus Christ. Your Spirit anointed him to preach good news to the
poor, to proclaim release to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind,
to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to announce that the time had
come when you would save your people. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and
ate with sinners. By the baptism of his suffering, death, and resurrection you
gave birth to your church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made
with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. When the Lord Jesus ascended,
he promised to be with us always, in the power of your Word and Holy Spirit.
The pastor may
hold hands, palms down, over the bread or reach the bread, or lift the bread.
On the night in which he gave
himself up for us, he took bread, gave thanks to you, broke the bread, gave it
to his disciples, and said: “Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you.
Do this in remembrance of me.”
The pastor may
lift or touch the chalice.
When the supper was over, he
took the cup, gave thanks to you, gave it to his disciples, and said: “Drink
from this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, poured out for you
and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink it, in
remembrance of me.”
The pastor may
raise hands.
We
remember the people, who came before us, (at this
moment, the names of the departed partners, students, faculty and staff, BOT
members and friends will be read, while their family or designated acolytes
will offer flowers to the designated place) their memory is as sweet as
honey. And so, in remembrance of them, and the mighty acts of God through Jesus
Christ, we offer ourselves in praise and thanksgiving as a holy and living
sacrifice, in union with Christ’s offering for us, as we proclaim the mystery
of faith.
All: CHRIST HAS DIED; CHRIST IS RISEN; CHRIST WILL COME AGAIN.
The pastor may
hold hands, palms down, over the bread and cup.
Pour
out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and wine.
May we and all who share in this bread and wine may receive the seed of life
and embrace the coming of peace. By your Spirit make us one with Christ, one
with each other regardless of our races, sexuality, culture and gender until
Christ comes in final victory and we feast at his heavenly banquet. Through your
Son Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church, and all honor and
glory is yours, almighty God, now and forever.
All: Amen.

BREAKING THE
BREAD
Pastor: Because there is one loaf, we,
who are many, are one body, for we all partake of the one loaf. The bread which
we break is a sharing in the body of Christ. The cup over which we give thanks
is a sharing in the blood of Christ.
GIVING THE BREAD
AND CUP
PRAYER OF
THANKSGIVING
God of justice, hope and
freedom, we give you thanks for your Son, our brother, Jesus who has made
provision for all of your daughters and sons to walk in liberty. Thank you for
the privilege of dining at this, your table of eternal redemption through the
sacrificial body and blood of Christ. We are mindful of those who have not yet
tasted of your grace here. As we turn our faces back to the east, west, north
and south, disturb us, convict us, and afflict us with an urgency to
demonstrate your liberating presence in the world. Prepare us for the time when
all will feast at your table of love through the risen Christ. AMEN.
SENDING
FORTH
HYMN “WE ARE ONE IN THE SPIRIT”
We
are one in the Spirit, We are one in the Lord,
We
are one in the Spirit, We are one in the Lord,
And
we pray that all unity may one day be restored.
Chorus:
And they’ll know we
are Christians by our love, by our love. Yes they’ll know we are Christians by
our love.
We will walk with each other, We will walk hand in hand,
We will walk with each other, We will walk hand in hand,
And together we’ll spread the news that God is in our land.
We
will work with each other, We will work side by side,
We
will work with each other, We will walk side by side,
And
we’ll guard each one’s dignity and save each one’s pride.
