INVITATION (Mark)

Friends as we prepare to celebrate communion. Those of you who are in Zoom, I encourage you to gather something, something to eat and drink. And if you're not already in gallery view, where you can see an array of people, I recommend you switch to gallery view by clicking in the upper left hand, right hand corner. And now the suggestion for everyone. And as Pastor Brenda raises her bread and cup, I encourage all of you to also raise your bread and cup whether you're seated here in our church or at home. Be reminded that Jesus welcomes everyone to share this meal. There are no exceptions. No one is turned away. If you seek God's presence, come and eat. If you are hungry for this spiritual food, come and eat. If you are full of doubts and questions, come and eat. This table is offered so that all of us may experience God's abundant and radiant love.

PRAYER (Mark)

Let us lift our hearts up in prayer. Almighty and Holy God. At price table, we taste your love for us in ways that we cannot begin to explain. Open our hearts to experience your presence in the bread and cup that we may know your grace and faithfulness. Lead us with your hope and your help. US to trust in your promise of an abundant and eternal life. Through Jesus the Christ we pray. Amen.
