Call to Celebration
In the fullness of time, God gave us Jesus the Christ that we might see God made flesh and experience hope and reconciliation in the world…
We humble ourselves this day and receive that graceful message…
We believe the bread and wine we receive today will give us strength and courage to do God’s will…
We humble ourselves this day and receive that graceful message…
Let our lives be a witness to God’s eternal love for all of God’s creation.
We humble ourselves this day and receive that graceful message.
Amen.

Sisters and brothers, today we gather together to share in the Table of Grace. A table where all are invited and none is excluded. This is the table that reminds us that giving allows ministry to happen within and outside these walls. Today we vow to give of our time, talents, and material possessions in the furthering of God ’s “kindom.” We commit to using our gifts in love and mercy in and for the world. Amen.

Scripture Lesson
Mark 14:17-25 NKJV
17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
18 And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me.
19 And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I?
20 And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish.
21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born.
22 And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body.
23 And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it.
24 And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many.
25 Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God.
