1 NLS Worship - Saturday WELCOME OPENING SONG(s) : (1) GREETING: In the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. AMEN PSALM 1 (from The Message) 1 How well God must like you --- You don t hang out at Sin Saloon, you don t slink along Dead-End Road, You don t go to Smart Mouth College. 2 Instead you thrill at God s Word You chew on Scripture day and night. 3 You re a tree replanted in Eden, bearing fresh fruit every month,, Never dropping a leaf, always in blossom. 4 You re not at all like the wicked, Who are mere windblown dust Without defense in court, Unfit company for innocent people. 6 God charts the road you take. 7 The road they take is Skid Row. 1

2 Refrain: Verse: Repeat Refrain CONFESSION: L We pray Lord, that You would set our hearts on fire... C...yet we are timid in our witness and unfaithful in our worship of You. L We pray that You would flood the nations with love and mercy... C...yet we are slow to be Your holy vessels of grace. L Lord, mold me and make me, this is what I pray. C Change my heart, O God. Make it ever true. L Mold me and make me, this is what I pray. C Change my heart, O God. Make it ever true. REPEAT--- CHANGE MY HEART O GOD 2

4 PRAYER HOLY COMMUNION GREAT THANKSGIVING: The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise. PREFACE: It is indeed right, our duty and our joy, that we should at all times and in all places give thanks and praise to you, almighty and merciful God, through our Savior Jesus Christ. You call your people to cleanse their hearts and prepare with joy for the paschal feast, that, renewed in the gift of baptism, we may count to the fullness of your grace. And so, with all the choirs of angels, with the church on earth and the hosts of heaven, we praise your name and join their unending hymn: Now we are making a feast, but it is a thanksgiving: God, we are thanking you. With our ancestors in faith and all the hosts of heaven, O God, we thank you and rejoice. This food we shall eat it in your honor! This drink we shall drink it in your honor! We thank you for giving us life. We thank you for giving us freedom. We thank you for bringing us peace. We thank you for the one who bore our sins upon the cross. 6

5 We thank you for the one who brought us over from death to life. Father, send the Spirit of life, the Spirit of power and fruitfulness. With the Spirit s breath, speak your Word into these things. Give us who eat and drink the living body and the lifeblood of Jesus, our brother, life and power and fruitfulness of heart and body. Give us true communion with your Son. On the night of his suffering, he gave thanks for the bread that he held in his hands. This bread he shared among his followers, saying: All of you, take this, eat this; it is my body, handed over for you. Do this and remember me. The body of Christ! Amen Then he shared drink with them, saying: All of you, take this, drink this; it is my blood, the blood of the new covenant that begins now and lasts forever. This blood is poured out for you and for all people so that sins may be taken away. Do this and remember me. The blood of Christ! Amen Let us proclaim the mystery of faith. Hail, hail, hail Jesus Christ our Lord, death, resurrection, and return! May happiness come! Lord, you are resurrection and life. You, Crucifixion, are here! You, Resurrection, are here! You, Ascension, are here! You, Spirit Medicine of Life are here! Father, bring us life; give us kinship and fellowship with Mary, the mother of our Lord, with all the elders and ancestors of your people, and with all your children And you, our prayer Prayer of the long-distant past; you, ancient Word, spoken by the Father; you, Breath of the Spirit Prayer of the ancestors, you are spoken now! Amen 7

6 THE LORD S PRAYER: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen. COMMUNION: Follow instructions from the ushers. Communion by intinction.
