Offering Our Gifts 8:45, 10:00When I Survey the Wondrous Cross arr. Jay Rouse

Offering Our Gifts 11:15Behold the Lamb arr. Andy Albritton

Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away,

Slain for us—and we remember The promise made that

all who come in faith Find forgiveness at the cross. So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of peace Around the table of the King.

The body of our Savior Jesus Christ, Torn for you—eat and remember The wounds that heal,

the death that brings us life Paid the price to make us one. So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of love Around the table of the King.

The blood that cleanses every stain of sin,

Shed for you—drink and remember He drained death’s cup

that all may enter in To receive the life of God. So we share in this bread of life, And we drink of His sacrifice As a sign of our bonds of grace Around the table of the King.

And so with thankfulness and faith we rise

To respond—and to remember Our call to follow

in the steps of Christ As His body here on earth. As we share in His suffering We proclaim Christ will come again!And we’ll join in the feast of heaven Around the table of the King.

FAMILY MEMBER DEATHFrank Specht 2/14Father of Alicia Specht

How fitting that the author of the phrase “be doers of the word” was James, Joseph’s biological son and Jesus’ half-brother. Both Jesus and James grew up in Joseph’s carpenter’s shop, and carpenters tend to be practical people.

Like his father, James was about tools. Tools help us shape reality and impact the world. In his book, James helps us learn the craftsmanship of faith. What are the practices we can apply daily to create a life of true beauty and excellence?

A new series starts today.

CELEBRATE THE SACRAMENT

THE COMMUNION PRAYER

Pastor:The Lord be with you.

People:And also with you.

Pastor:Lift up your hearts.

People:We lift them up to the Lord.

Pastor:Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People:It is right to give our thanks and praise.

Pastor:Holy and loving God, we gather at this table giving you thanks for the gift of your kindness shown to us in your Son Jesus Christ. In his life, he was a friend to sinners, touching the outcast, healing the broken, and proclaiming your love for the world. In his death, he paid the price for our sin that we might stand before you joyfully and without fear. As we receive the bread and the cup, pour out your Holy Spirit on us that we might extend your kindness to the world. Through your Son Jesus Christ, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty God, now and forever. Amen.

“I am the bread of life. All who come to

me shall not hunger, and all who believe in me

shall never be thirsty.”

—John 6:35

WORDS OF INSTITUTION/DISTRIBUTION OF THE BREAD & CUP

To symbolize our individual experience of God’s grace, please partake of the bread* as it is served. To symbolize our common experience together of God’s grace, please retain the cup until all have been served.

* The communion bread was made gluten free but not cut in a dedicated facility.

UNISON PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING

Gracious and loving God, you have made us one in the body of Christ, and nourished us at your table with holy food and drink. Thank you for feeding our hunger and relieving our thirst. Now send us into the world to do the work you have given us to do: to find the lost and lonely, to heal broken souls, to free prisoners, and to love in Jesus’ name. Grant us strength to persevere in resisting evil, and to proclaim in all we say and do your good news in Christ Jesus our Savior. Amen.
