Mark 14:22-24 THE SACRAMENT OF THE LORD’S SUPPER Our pastor prayerfully sets the elements apart to their holy use as that which focuses our worship on the crucifixion of the Lord Jesus Christ. He distributes the grape juice and matzoth to the congregation by the hands of the Ruling Elders of the church. We partake of the elements together, so please wait until each of the elements are served. * HYMN OF PRAISE Trinity Hymnal, No. 653 “Jesus Is All the World to Me” Stanzas 1-4 *BENEDICTION “The LORD bless you and keep you, the LORD make his face shine upon you and be gracious to you; the LORD turn his face toward you and give you peace.” Numbers 6:24-26 |
