Prayers of the People Bonny Hietala
Confession and Absolution
Dear friends in Christ.
God is steadfast in love and infinite in mercy;
welcoming sinners and inviting them to this table.
Let us confess our sins, confident in God’s forgiveness.
Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
In thought, word, and deed,
By what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
We have not loved our neighbours as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ,
Have mercy on us and forgive us,
That we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen.
Celebrant: Almighty God have mercy upon you,
pardon and deliver you from all your sins,
confirm and strengthen you in all goodness,
and keep you in eternal life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
People: Amen.
The Peace
Celebrant: The peace of the Lord be always with you.
People: And also with you.
THE CELEBRATION OF THE EUCHARIST
Offertory Hymn:To God Be the Glory 371
Prayer over the Gifts
Gracious God,
your word to us is food indeed.
Receive all we offer you this day,
and let your loving-kindness be our comfort,
for the sake of Jesus Christ, your living Word. Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer 1 Celebrant: The Lord be with you.
People:And also with you.
Celebrant:Lift up your hearts.
People:We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant:Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People:It is right to give our thanks and praise.
Celebrant:It is indeed right that we should praise you,
gracious God, for you created all things.
You formed us in your own image: male and female you created us.
When we turned away from you in sin,you did not cease to care for us, but opened a path of salvation for all people.
You made a covenant with an ancient people, and through your servants Abraham and Sarah gave the promise of a blessing to all nations.
Through Moses, Miriam, and Aaron you led your people from bondage into freedom; through the prophets you renewed your promise of salvation.
Therefore, with them, and with all your saints who
have served you in every age, we give thanks and
raise our voices to proclaim the glory of your name.
People: 732
Holy, holy, holy Lord,
God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full,
full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest,
hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest,
hosanna in the highest.
Celebrant:Holy God, source of life and goodness, all creation rightly gives you praise. In the fullness of time, you sent your Son Jesus Christ, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you,
the God and Father of all.
He healed the sick and ate and drank with outcasts
and sinners; he opened the eyes of the blind and proclaimed the good news of your kingdom to the
poor and to those in need. In all things he fulfilled
your gracious will.
On the night he freely gave himself to death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: this is my body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.”
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this,
all of you: this is my blood of the new covenant, which
is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Gracious God, his perfect sacrifice destroys the power of sin and death; by raising him to life you give us life for evermore.
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith.
All:Christ has died.
Christ has risen.
Christ will come again.
Celebrant:Recalling his death, proclaiming his resurrection, and looking for his coming again in glory, we offer you, Father, this bread and this cup. Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts, that all who eat and drink at this table may be one body and one holy people, a living sacrifice in Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, almighty Father, now and for ever.
People:Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer Page 211
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for ever. Amen.
The Breaking of the Bread
Celebrant:“I am the bread of life,” says the Lord.
“Whoever comes to me will never be hungry;
whoever believes in me will never thirst.”
All:Taste and see that the Lord is good;
happy are they who trust in him!
Celebrant:The gifts of God for the People of God.
People:Thanks be to God.

Living God,
in the eucharist you fill us with new hope.
May the power of your love,
which we have known in word and sacrament,
continue your saving work among us,
and bring us to the joy you promise.
We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Celebrant:Glory to God,
All:whose power, working in us,
can do infinitely more
than we can ask or imagine.
Glory to God from generation to generation,
in the Church and in Christ Jesus,
for ever and ever. Amen.
