Gathering the Family Together
Holy Spirit, Living Breath of God
Holy Spirit, living Breath of God,
Breathe new life into my willing soul.
Bring the presence of the risen Lord
To renew my heart and make me whole.
Cause Your Word to come alive in me;
Give me faith for what I cannot see;
Give me passion for Your purity.
Holy Spirit, breathe new life in me.
Holy Spirit, come abide within;
May Your joy be seen in all I do—
Love enough to cover ev’ry sin
In each thought and deed and attitude,
Kindness to the greatest and the least,
Gentleness that sows the path of peace.
Turn my striving into works of grace.
Breath of God, show Christ in all I do.
Holy Spirit, from creation’s birth,
Giving life to all that God has made,
Show Your power once again on earth;
Cause Your church to hunger for Your ways.
Let the fragrance of our prayers arise.
Lead us on the road of sacrifice
That in unity the face of Christ
Will be clear for all the world to see.

Scripture Reading: Mark 14:22-25
22 And as they were eating, he took bread, and after blessing it broke it and gave it to them, and said, “Take; this is my body.”
23 And he took a cup, and when he had given thanks he gave it to them, and they all drank of it.
24 And he said to them, “This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many.
25 Truly, I say to you, I will not drink again of the fruit of the vine until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God.”.
Prayer of Invocation
Declaring What We Believe
Your Hand, O God, Has Guided
- Your hand, O God, has guided Your church from age to age;
The tale of love is written for us on every page.
Our fathers knew Your goodness and we Your works record;
And each of these bear witness; One church, one faith, one Lord.
Refrain: One church, one faith, one Lord of life;
One Father, one Spirit, one Christ.
One church, one faith, one Lord of life;
One Heavenly King, Lord of all.
- Your mercy never fails us, or leaves Your work undone;
With Your right hand to help us, the victory shall be won.
And then, by all creation, Your Name shall be adored;
With earth and Heaven singing: One church, one faith, one Lord.

We Respond to God’s Presence
Let All Mortal Flesh Keep Silence!
Men: Verse 1
Let all mortal flesh keep silence, And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing earthly minded, For with blessing in His hand,
Christ our God to earth descendeth, Our full homage to demand.Women: Verse 2
King of kings, yet born of Mary, As of old on earth He stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture, In the body and the blood;
He will give to all the faithful His own self for heavenly food.All: Verse 3
Rank on rank the host of heaven, Spreads its vanguard on the way,
As the Light of light descendeth From the realms of endless day,
That the powers of hell may vanish As the darkness clears away.All: Verse 4
At His feet the six-winged seraph, Cherubim with sleepless eye,
Veil their faces to the presence, As with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Lord Most High!Christ Our Hope in Life and Death
What is our hope in life and death?
Christ alone, Christ alone.
What is our only confidence?
That our souls to Him belong.
Who holds our days within His hand?
What comes, apart from His command?
And what will keep us to the end?
The love of Christ, in which we stand.
Refrain: O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
What truth can calm the troubled soul?
God is good, God is good.
Where is His grace and goodness known?
In our great Redeemer’s blood.
Who holds our faith when fears arise?
Who stands above the stormy trial?
Who sends the waves that bring us nigh unto the shore?
The rock of Christ!
Refrain: O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
Unto the grave, what shall we sing?
“Christ, He lives; Christ, He lives!”
And what reward will heaven bring?
Everlasting life with Him.
There we will rise to meet the Lord,
Then sin and death will be destroyed,
And we will feast in endless joy,
When Christ is ours forevermore.
Refrain: O sing hallelujah! Our hope springs eternal.
O sing hallelujah! Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
Now and ever, we confess
Christ our hope in life and death.
