THE WORD MADE VISIBLE

The Invitation

Hymn   Alleluia Alleluia    #260
The Apostle’s Creed
Warrant

Great Prayer of Thanksgiving
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
We lift them up to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
It is right to give God thanks and praise.

 (Prayers of thanksgiving for the Father's creation are offered.  The congregation is invited to join in the ancient hymn…)

…we join with the whole creation to lift our hearts in joyful praise.
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might, Heaven and earth are full of your glory.  
Hosanna in the highest.  
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.  Hosanna in the highest.

 (Prayers continue, thanking Jesus for His work among us and the meal that is before us)

…and we proclaim the mystery of faith:
Christ has died.  
Christ has risen.  
Christ will come again.









(The prayer concludes, asking the Holy Spirit to continue to work among us all.  The congregation then joins together to offer up The Lord's Prayer.)

Our Father, who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, and thy Word be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, 
And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil,
For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory,
Forever and ever.  Amen.

Lent - For more than fifteen centuries, the season of Lent has encompassed forty non-Sabbath days before Easter, a very Biblical number of days during which Christians are encouraged to examine themselves and their lives before the celebration of the Resurrection!  This season is known as "Lent" and part of the process often includes a "fast" of some kind.  Whatever you give up, whether or not you stick to it is between you and God!  But this is a time to be reconciled, a time to be humble, and a time to come close to one another and to God.
