Hymn - City of God, how broad and far
Introductory Sentence
The Lord be with you
And also with you
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give God thanks and praise.
It is right and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Gracious Father, creator of heaven and earth.
And now we give you thanks because on the first day of the week your Son the Lord Jesus Christ overcame death and the grave and opened to us the way of everlasting life.
Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your name.
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest.
Holy indeed are you almighty Father Eternal Sovereign who in all your gifts and works, manifests your holiness to all humanity. Holy is your Only Begotten Son, Jesus Christ through whom you did order the universe. And Holy is your ever blessed Spirit who reveals all things, even the deep things of you O God.
Just as you yourself are holy, so also you created us in your own image that we might live in holy fellowship. And when we disobeyed your commandments, you did not abandon us but you guided us as a merciful Father, you revealed yourself to us through the sages, the Law and the Prophets, and through your redeeming acts in history, and when the time was ripe, you came among us through your Son Jesus, whom you sent into the world to share our human nature in order that the Lord Jesus might revive your own image in us.
Generous God, Jesus loves us and sacrificed self for us and heralded the new life in breaking bread with companions.
On the very night that he was betrayed to suffer death upon the cross for us, the Lord Jesus took bread and when he had given thanks to you almighty Father, he broke it and gave it to his disciples saying: Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same manner after supper, he took the cup also, and after giving thanks, he gave it to them saying: Drink, all of you from this, for this is my blood of the new covenant which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins. Do this, as often as you drink, it in remembrance of me.
Great is the mystery of faith
All: We proclaim your death, O Lord, and live by your resurrection, and await your coming again
And so Father, we present this bread and cup in communion with your whole church, in fellowship with all the saints, and in union with all creation we celebrate your Son’s death and victory; giving thanks for all that Christ has done for us; for preparing us for all that lies ahead, as we receive the benefits of Christ’s life, death, resurrection and session in glory, and we eagerly await the heavenly banquet after Christ’s coming again.
And we entreat you most merciful God to hear us and send your All Holy Spirit on † us and on these your gifts, that they being blessed and hallowed by that life giving power, may be for us the Body and Blood of your most dearly loved Son, to the end that we receiving the same may be sanctified and filled with your grace and heavenly blessing.
Accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; make us one body in Jesus Christ our Lord, † by whom and with whom and in whom in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honour and glory be to you almighty Father, world without end. Amen.
BREAKING OF THE BREAD
Deacon: The bread which we break is it not a sharing in the body of Christ?
All: We being many are one bread, one body for we all partake of the one bread. (1 Corinthians 10:16-17)
THE COMMUNION
Deacon: As our Saviour Christ has taught us, we now pray
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed by thy name. The 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. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen
The peace of the Lord be always with you
All And also with you.
Presider: The gifts of God for the people of God
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us

Deep Silence
THE INVITATION
Deacon: Draw near with faith and take this Holy Sacrament to your comfort.
All: Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and I shall be healed.
After Communion
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore. Psalm 133
Post Communion Prayer
God of mercy, complete within us your healing work, and so transform and strengthen us that our lives and actions may give you joy. We ask this through Christ, our Lord. Amen.

The affirmation of faith
We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father, through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Confession
Almighty God, your desire is for us, your church to be one body, members one of another in Christ. Yet, we have failed, to each other. In your mercy forgive us; for our differences, our words that don’t match our life and our actions, our pride that looks down upon others, and our failure to make use of your gifts to uplift your church, that we will be transformed and renewed and bound as one body, for the sake of your son Jesus, the head of the church and our Messiah. Amen. @LD
