THE CLOSING PRAYER
AFFIRMATION OF FAITH……..………..………........…...THE APOSTLES’ CREED
I believe in God the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead and buried. The third day he arose from the dead; he ascended into heaven and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the church universal, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sin, the resurrection of the body and the life everlasting. Amen.

HOLY COMMUNION (See Below)
The Prayer of Confession
Minister and People:
Eternal God, Judge of all humankind, we confess our need of You. Our sins are too heavy to carry, too real to hide, and too deep to undo. We confess not only our many sins, which we have from time to time most grievously have committed by thought, word, and deed. Have mercy upon us! Forgive us, O Lord, Give us grace to remember that “perfect love casts out fear”, Grant us clarity of vision to see the light, And the strength to walk in the power of your Holy Spirit.
The Prayer of Consecration
The Pastor or Local Elder:
Today, with praise on our tongue and joy in our heart; let not our devotion die. We hold these ancient symbols of bread and wine, reminding us of the meal You shared with Your disciples — a meal through which they (and we) should Remember You. It was the night when You were betrayed by a disciple. You took a loaf of bread, and when you had given thanks, broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way, you took the cup also, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.’ You took bread and wine and blessed them and made of them a Sacrament. We once again consecrate these tokens, not as Relics, but as reminders of Your sacrifice of body and blood, broken and shed because of Your great Love at Calvary. Now, in different spaces, this Sacrament is made sacred by our present purpose, we partake of the bread and we sip from the cup. We feast on these emblems by faith, grateful that You are forever present with us. Amen.
People: God our hope, we give you thanks. Lead us in lives of purpose, peace, love and joy as we await Your coming again in Glory. Hallelujah! Amen!
The Pastor or Local Elder:
Together, let us eat in remembrance of Your body that was broken for us! Together, let us drink in remembrance of His blood that was shed, the new covenant, the new agreement with us — we give thanks! Amen!
