Hymn We Plough the Fields (CP 258)

1. We plough the fields and scatterthe good seed on the land,but it is fed and wateredby God's almighty hand;he sends the snow in winter,the warmth to swell the grain,the breezes and the sunshine,and soft refreshing rain. R:

Refrain: All good gifts around us are sent from heaven above;then thank the Lord, O thank the Lord for all his love.

2. He only is the makerof all things near and far;he paints the wayside flower,he lights the evening star.The winds and waves obey him;by him the birds are fed;much more to us, his children,he gives our daily bread. R:

3. We thank thee, then, O Father,for all things bright and good,the seed-time and the harvest,our life, our health, our food.Accept the gifts we offerfor all thy love imparts,and, what thou most desirest,our humble, thankful hearts. R:

He suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead.On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand of the Father.He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.

Presider Holy God, Lover of creation,we give you thanks and praisefor in the ocean of your steadfast love you bear usand place the song of your Spirit in our hearts.

Joining in the song of the universe we proclaim your glory saying:

Sanctus Schubert (CP 735)

Presider Gracious God,in the fullness of time you sent Jesus the Christto share our fragile humanity.Through Jesus’ life, death, and resurrectionyou open the path from brokenness to health,


from fear to trust, from pride and conceitto reverence for you.Rejected by a worldthat could not bear the Gospel of life,Jesus knew death was near.His head anointed for burialby an unknown woman;Jesus gathered together those who loved him.He took bread, gave thanks to you, broke itand gave it to his friends,saying, “Take and eat:this is my body which is given for you.Do this for the remembrance of me.”

After supper, Jesus took the cup of wine,gave you thanks, and said “Drink this all of you,this is my blood of the new covenantwhich is shed for you and for many.Whenever you drink it,do this for the remembrance of me.”And now we gather at this tablein response to his commandment,to share the bread and cup of Christ’sundying love, and to proclaim our faith.

All Christ has died.Christ is risen.Christ will come again

Presider Breathe your Holy Spirit,the wisdom of the universe,upon these gifts that we bring to you:this bread, this cup, ourselves, our souls and bodies,that we may be signs of your love for all the world andministers of your transforming purpose.

Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ in the unity of theHoly Spirit, all glory is yours, Creatorof all, and we bless your holy name forever.

All Amen.


The Lord’s Prayer

The Breaking of the Bread

Presider We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.All We, being many, are one body, for we all share in the one bread.

Presider The gifts of God for the people of God.All Thanks be to God.

Share the GiftsIf you know the brokenness of life, its fractures within and its division without, then you have participated inthe broken body of Christ and you are invited to share in Communion.

A reminder to make use of hand sanitizer before receiving communion.

If you are not physically receiving Communion, then offer this prayer: In union, O God, with all your faithfulpeople gathered wherever the eucharist is celebrated this day, I offer you praise and thanksgiving forcreation and all the blessings of this life, for the redemption given to us through the life, death andresurrection of Christ, and for the means of grace and the hope of glory. I pray you come into my heart,my soul and my mind. Let nothing separate me from you. May I serve you in this life until, by yourgrace, I come to your promised reign of justice and peace; through Christ and in the unity of the Spirit.Amen. While the communion is being administered, we respectfully ask that you keep the silence — this isa time for quiet prayer and meditation.


During Communion

Lord, Thou Hast Made us for Thine Own

Lord, who hast made us for thine own,Here as we sing before thy throne. Alleluia.Accept thy children’s reverent praisefor all thy wondrous works and ways. Alleluia.Waves rolling in on every shore.Pause at his footfall and adore. Alleluia.Ye torrents rushing from the hills.Bless Him whose hand your fountain fills. Alleluia.Earth, ever through the power divine,Seedtime, harvest shall be thine. Alleluia.Sweet flowers that perfume all the air.Thank Him that He hath made you fair. Alleluia.Burn lamps of night with constant flame.Shine to the honour of His name. Alleluia.Thou sun, whom all the lands obey,renew His praise from day to day. Alleluia.

Words: Francis Ralph Gray Music: Lasst uns Erfreuen, arr. Gustav Holst

Sending Out of the DisciplesPrayer after CommunionPresider O God,All we give you thanks

that you have set before us this feast,the body and blood of your Son.By your Spirit strengthen us to serve all in needand to give ourselves away as bread for the hungry,through Christ our Lord. Amen.

DoxologyPresider Glory to God,All whose power, working in us,

can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine.Glory to God from generation to generation,in the Church and in Christ Jesus,for ever and ever. Amen.
