Great Prayer of
Thanksgiving
Leader: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Leader: Lift up your hearts.
All: We lift them up to the Lord.
Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
All: It is right to give God thanks and
praise.
(The prayer begins by approaching
the aspect of God as Creator, Father, Life-giver, being thankful for all that
we have been given, especially the gift of Jesus Christ. The segment concludes with words to the
effect of…)
Leader: We join with the whole creation to lift our hearts in joyful
praise, saying together
All: 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.
The prayer continues, with a focus
now on Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Redeemer, and how He gave us the communion
meal to unify us in one heart, one spirit, and one faith. This segment concludes as…)
Leader: We
proclaim the mystery of faith, saying:
All: Christ has died.
Christ
has risen.
Christ
will come again.
(We come to the final segment of the
prayer, addressing the Holy Spirit, moving from thankfulness for what has been
done to intercessions regarding what may yet be. A time of silent supplication may mark this
time, after which we conclude with The Lord’s Prayer (debts).
Hear us as we pray boldly with the
words that He taught us as we say together:
Our Father…Amen.

GFORCe: Our new friends from Syria have made wonderful strides adjusting to
life in Canada. A brigade of GFORCe drivers take Salim and Diala to
Milton each day for ESL classes, while their sons are busy with school, sports
teams, and music. Alfred scored 98% on his Grade 8 math test, Diala has joined
the Choral Society, and the whole family enjoyed a trip to Niagara Falls with
GFORCe volunteers. Others helped them acquire winter coats, bikes and
library cards, see a doctor and optometrist, and budget prudently using the
allowance they receive from your donations. They are anxious to get Ontario
drivers’ licences and to find work as soon as their English is good
enough. Diala’s brother Salim arrived safely after Thanksgiving with
limited clothing for the fall and no clothing for the winter. A cause for
great celebration by the family and all of us.
