Holy Communion Statement of Faith I believe in the suffering God, the wounded Friend, who is the source and sustenance of all things, who refuses to be put off by human stupidity and sin, and will never surrender us to the corruption of evil. I believe in Christ Jesus, child of Mary, child of God, who came among us with grace, mercy and peace, who for the glory of God and the healing of humanity went to the cross like a lamb to the slaughter, bearing our griefs and carrying our sorrows, and became the ever living source of salvation.
I believe in the Holy Spirit of God, the companion of Christ’s light and love, who creates the church in the name of Jesus and sustains it against all odds, who counsels us, teaches us, inspires and inflames us with love. I believe in the one universal church, into which we are baptised by water and the Spirit, the friends of Christ linking life and beyond-life in one unbroken fellowship of love, service and praise. Amen! During the Thanksgiving prayer the Minister will invite the congregation to say the following Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he, O Blessed is he, who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. The Peace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with you all Hymn 105
Glory to God above!
Benediction As the elements and vessels are removed from the church and the Elders of the Kirk Session leave the sanctuary, the congregation remain seated and sing Hymn 53 Oh, greatly blest the people are
