Communion Service, Very Simple Version, Aug. 1, 2015


Lord, I thank and praise You for all You have done for me, for all you have given me –that You will never, ever forsake me.


I confess, Lord, that I have sinned against You and my brother. Have Mercy on me, O God, according to Your unfailing Love. Forgive me, and cleanse me from my sins. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me. Grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.


Your Word is a light unto my feet. Oh Lord, guide me in Your ways.”


Holy are You, Lord. Full of power and might. The Heavens declare Your Glory, and as the deer pants for Living Waters, so my soul longs for You, O my God.


Behold, I will pour out My Spirit upon you, and make My Words known to you.”


On the night before You died, You had supper with Your apostles. You took the Bread from the table, lifted it up to the Father and gave thanks and praise. You broke the Bread and gave it to Your apostles, saying, “Take this, all of you, and eat it. This is My Body, which will be given up for you. Then, You took the Cup, lifted it up to the Father and gave thanks, saying, “Take this, all of you, and drink from it. This is the Cup of My Blood, the Blood of the new and everlasting covenant. It will be shed for you and for all, so that sins may be forgiven. Do this in memory of Me.”


Lord, I am not worthy that You should come under my roof. But, only say the word and I shall be healed.”


May Your Body and Blood give me the strength to live for You until You come for us in Glory. Amen.
