"We give thanks and praise, O God of wind and word, power and peace," we pray. We do what Jesus did the night before he died: we Take bread, give thanks, break the bread, and give it to his friends. As we eat this bread and drink this cup, we are proclaiming Christ's death until he comes.

Our Thanksgiving to God:
Blessed are you, gracious God, Creator of Light. Giver of all Life, Source of Love. In the beginning your Spirit moved over the waters and through your Word brought all things into being. Through a burning bush, you
spoke to your prophets and your people. With glowing
coals your touched their lips, that they might speak your word of truth and justice. By fire and your Spirit, you have guided us through the wilderness. We give you thanks and praise, O God of wind and word, power and peace. Lover of all nations, although we have so often betrayed your promise, you have never left us nor forsaken us. You sent us Jesus, your Gift of Grace, our Light and Flame. You poured out your Spirit upon us, to create, renew, inspire, that all might be made whole. We bless you, for your Spirit wraps us in your presence, drawing us closer in community. And so it is that on this feast of Pentecost, we give you praise and thanks for your many gifts, joining with all your people that as one body we may proclaim your praise: Holy, holy, holy, vulnerable God. Heaven and earth are full of your glory! Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is the One who comes in the name of God. Hosanna in the highest. We do what Jesus did the night before he died. He took bread, gave thanks, broke the bread, and gave it to his friends, and said, Take, eat; remember me. Then he took the cup, and said, Take, drink; remember. Remembering the death and celebrating the resurrection, we await with hope the coming again of compassion and justice to the earth. Therefore, as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we are proclaiming Christ's death until he comes. In this communion, we restore to memory and hope the broken and unremembered victims of tyranny and sin; and we long for the bread of tomorrow, and the wine of the age to come. 2
Come, then, life-giving Spirit of our God, brood over
these bodily things and make us one body with Christ, that we may labour with creation to be delivered from its bondage to decay, into the glorious liberty of all the children of God. With Jesus, we pray together, saying: Our Father, who art in heaven ...
(the bread is broken, the cup is lifted,
and these words are said, responsively:)
The bread that we break
is our sharing in the life of Christ.
The cup for which we give thanks
is our sharing in the life of Christ.
Come, for all things are now ready.
(Today, you will be served in a traditional fashion. You will be served the bread first, and we will partake together; the juice will then be served, where we will partake together) The Bread of Life The Cup of Blessing 3
The Prayer after Communion:
Gracious God, may your gifts of love transform and enliven us that we may live lives of thanksgiving. May your presence among us provoke such longing for your realm, that we will never be satisfied until the whole earth knows your justice, your peace, and your love. In Christ's name, we pray. AMEN!
