path and call it yours. We claim that our words are your words.
Forgive our arrogance and our pride. Remind us of our weakness and

side and trust in you to respond. In Christ’s name we pray. Amen.

Offertory ANTHEM A Communion
Invitation Craig Courtney
Text: Pamela
Martin
Come, if you are
lonely; my door is open wide.
All of you are
welcome; come and step inside.
Enter with My
blessing; no one is denied.
Come, sit at My table;
come, sit by My side.
Come, if you are
thirsty; I will pour the wine.
If you hunger, take
this bread; sit with Me and dine.
Ev’ry weary trav’ler,
ev’ry troubled soul,
Rest for just a moment
and leave the table whole.
The feast I spread
before you, the cup that we will share,
The bread we’ll break
together, I’ve lovingly prepared.
*Doxology,
P. 592
*PRAYER OF DEDICATION

Our Father, who art

but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power,

WORDS OF INSTITUTION
SHARING THE BREAD AND CUP
It is the practice of
this congregation to partake individually of the bread and to hold
the cup in order to partake of it as a community. By so doing, we
affirm that Holy Communion has meaning to us both as individuals and
as a community of believers.
