Service of the Table                                                       

L/      Lift up your hearts

P/    We lift them to the Lord

L/      Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

P/    It is right to give God thanks and praise

L/      It is right, and a good and joyful thing …
… we praise your name and join their unending hymn

P/    Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory. 
Hosanna in the highest. 
Blessed is the one who comes
in the name of the Lord. 
Hosanna in the highest!

L/      Holy are you, and blessed is your Son …
… as we proclaim the mystery of faith.

P/    Christ has died. 
Christ is risen. 
Christ will come again!

L/      Pour out your Holy Spirit on us …
… all honor and glory is yours, now and forever

P/    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.

As your row is excused, please go to the parlor to partake of the elements and then return to the sanctuary for the rest of the service.
