INTRODUCTION TO EUCHARIST
By Bobbi Salkeld
Hear this invitation to the Lord’s table – the place where we gather together
to remember, to commune, and to receive spiritual nourishment
from the body of Jesus and the life of the Spirit.

The invitation is this:
Come to this table, not because you must but because you may
Not because you are always strong, but because you are often weak
Come, not because your goodness gives you a right to come
but because you need mercy and help.
Come, because you love God a little and would like to love God more.
Come, because Jesus loves you and gave himself for you,
for all of us, and for the life of the world. 

PRAYER FOR EUCHARIST
By Bobbi Salkeld
Jesus, on the night of your arrest
you took bread, gave thanks and fed it to your disciples.
This bread is a sacrament of your forgiveness and your kingdom.
And then you lifted the cup, inviting your followers to drink of you
the true wine that seals and makes our hearts glad.
Loving God, as we eat we imagine the feast of your kingdom
which is on earth as it is in heaven, and still, there is so much more to come.

For this and so much more, 
we give you thanks
Amen.

PRAYER TO CLOSE WORSHIP
By Kevin Borst
Jesus you are here with us.
Teach us to recognize the ways of your kingdom that we may love with our hands and feet.
May your love shine through us.
In Jesus Christ our Lord,
Amen.
