Lancashire Prayer of Preparation Norman Carter, piano God s Word Read Luke 22:14 23 (page 882) Sermon: Christ, Our Host Rev. Carroll Wynne * Hymn 469: How Sweet and Awesome Is the Place St. Columba * Offering Prayer Offertory: My Song Is Love Unknown Edwin Childs My song is love unknown, my Savior s love to me, love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be. Oh, who am I, that for my sake my Lord should take frail flesh and die? Sometimes they strew His way and His sweet praises sing; resounding all the day hosannas to their king. Then crucify is all their breath, and for His death they thirst and cry. Why, what has my Lord done to cause this rage and spite? He made the lame to run, and gave the blind their sight. What injuries! Yet these are why the Lord most high so cruelly dies, my Savior dies. Here might I stay and sing of Him my soul adores. Never was love, dear King, never was grief like Yours! This is my friend in Whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend. Tenth Church Choir Question of Preparation (from the Heidelberg Catechism; congregation reads answer in unison) Question #32: But why are you called a Christian? Answer: Because by faith I am a member of Christ and so I share in his anointing. I am anointed to confess his name, to present myself to him as a living sacrifice of thanks, to strive with a good conscience against sin and the devil in this life, and afterward to reign with Christ over all creation for all eternity. Sacrament of the Lord s Supper (gluten-free bread is in the center cup) Words of Invitation Distribution of the Bread (Sweet the Moments, Rich in Blessing) Distribution of the Cup (Jesus Sinners Doth Receive) Cross of Jesus Jesus, Meine Zuversicht Proclamation of the Mystery of Our Faith: Christ has died, Christ is risen, Christ will come again! * Hymn No. 3: Give to Our God Immortal Praise Warrington * Benediction Postlude: Rondeau Serving on the platform this evening: George McFarland Henry Purcell
