Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen. Offering Our Gifts How Firm a Foundation How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord, Is laid for your faith in his excellent Word! What more can he say than to you he hath said, To you who for refuge to Jesus have fled? Fear not, I am with thee; O be not dismayed, For I am thy God, and will still give thee aid; I ll strengthen thee, help thee, and cause thee to stand, Upheld by my righteous, omnipotent hand. When through the deep waters I call thee to go, The rivers of woe shall not thee overflow; For I will be with thee thy troubles to bless, And sanctify to thee thy deepest distress. When through fiery trials thy pathways shall lie, My grace, all sufficient, shall be thy supply; The flame shall not hurt thee; I only design Thy dross to consume and thy gold to refine. Congregation Join in Singing: The soul that on Jesus still leans for repose, I will not, I will not desert to his foes; That soul, though all hell should endeavor to shake, I ll never, no, never, no, never forsake! *Doxology Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise Him, all Creatures here below, Praise Him above, ye heavenly host: Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Amen.

4 CELEBRATE THE SACRAMENT November 24, :45, 10:00 and 11:15 AM Services Thanksgiving Communion The Communion Prayer Pastor: The Lord be with you. People: And also with you. Pastor: Lift up your hearts. People: We lift them up to the Lord. Pastor: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. People: It is right to give our thanks and praise. Pastor: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Lord God Almighty, creator of heaven and earth. And so, with all your people on earth in every place where two or more are gathered in your name and all the company of heaven who have gone before us we praise your name and join together saying: People: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Pastor: Holy are you, and blessed is your Son Jesus Christ. Your Spirit anointed him to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim release to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty those who are oppressed, and to announce that the time had come when you would save your people. People: You healed the sick, fed the hungry, and ate with sinners. By the baptism of your suffering, death, and resurrection you gave birth to your church, delivered us from slavery to sin and death, and made with us a new covenant by water and the Spirit. Pastor: Pour out your Holy Spirit on us gathered here, and on these gifts of bread and wine. Make them be for us the body and blood of Christ that we, as your people, may be the presence of Christ in the world. As we receive the bread and the cup empower us by your Spirit to do justice, to love mercy and to walk humbly with you. In all that we do make us a glad and grateful people, that all glory and honor may be yours, now and forever. Amen.
