THE COMMUNION RITE The Lord’s Prayer 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 trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Presider: Deliver us, Lord, we pray, from every evil, graciously grant peace in our days, that, by the help of your mercy, we may always be free from sin and safe from all distress, as we await the blessed hope and the coming of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

All: For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever.

Sign of Peace All are invited to greet those around them with a wish for peace.

Lamb of God (sung) Jesus, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.

Jesus, Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Presider: Behold the Lamb of God, behold him who takes away the sins of the world. Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb.

Communion Hymn Here I Am, Lord

I the Lord of sea and sky, I have heard my people cry.

All who dwell in dark and sin, My hand will save.

I who made the stars of night, I will make their darkness bright.

Who will bear My light to them? Whom shall I send?

Here I am Lord. Is it I Lord? I have heard You calling in the night.

I will go, Lord, if You lead me. I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain, I have borne My people’s pain.

I have wept for love of them. They turn away.

I will break their hearts of stone, give them hearts for love alone.

I will speak My word to them. Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of wind and flame, I will tend the poor and lame.

I will set a feast for them. My hand will save.

Finest bread I will provide, till their hearts be satisfied.

I will give My life to them. Whom shall I send?

CONCLUDING RITES Final Blessing Presider: Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life.

All: Thanks be to God. Recessional Hymn Walk in the Reign Close as tomorrow the sun shall appear.

Freedom is coming and healing is near.

And I shall be with you in laughter and pain to stand in the wind and walk in the reign, to walk in the reign.

In days to come the desert shall bloom.

Rivers will run there, soon, very soon.

So what shall we fear, though death do its worst?

The word of our God is the last shall be first, the last shall be first.

Comfort each other, for pain soon must end.

A day comes when lion and lamb shall be friends.

The sightless shall see then, the speechless sing songs.

The name of our God is the righter of wrongs, the righter of wrongs.

A curtain of fear is being torn down.

Prisons are opened; the lost have been found.

So go tell the seeker what we’ve seen and heard: the name of our God is the keeper of word, the keeper of word.
