1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me! 378 WORDS: John Newton, 1779; st. 6 anon. (1 Chr. 17:16-17) VS. 1-4 1. Amazing grace! How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am found; was blind, but now I see.

Amazing Grace (2) 2. ’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved;

how precious did that grace appear the hour I first believed.

3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come; Amazing Grace (3) 3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares, I have already come;

’tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will lead me home.

he will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.

Proclamation of the Word of God

Scripture Reading I Thessalonians 5:14-24 14 And we urge you, beloved, to admonish the idlers, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with all of them. 15 See that none of you repays evil for evil, but always seek to do good to one another and to all. 16 Rejoice always, 17 pray without ceasing, 18 give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you. 19 Do not quench the Spirit. 

 20 Do not despise the words of prophets, 21 but test everything; hold fast to what is good; 22 abstain from every form of evil. 23 May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 24 The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do this.

Receiving God’s Love and Forgiveness

Scripture Reading Luke 22:14-20 14 When the hour came, he took his place at the table, and the apostles with him. 15 He said to them, “I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I suffer; 16 for I tell you, I will not eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God.” 17 Then he took a cup, and after giving thanks he said, “Take this and divide it among yourselves; 

18 for I tell you that from now on I will not drink of the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes.” 19 Then he took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body, which is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 20 And he did the same with the cup after supper, saying, “This cup that is poured out for you is the new covenant in my blood.

Prayer of Consecration All are welcome to come and receive the bread and the cup by intinction, dipping the bread into the cup and tasting the love of Jesus. The altar is open for prayer. Hymn: Become to Us the Living Bread, Hymnal #630
