UNISON PRAYER OF DEDICATION Dane and Dominic RoldGood and gracious God, we give you thanks that you come into the world in Christ Jesus. He is the fullness of life and the life of love. In faith and hope, we offer our gifts of money and self, that as his followers, we may be the face of your love on earth. Restore us this day. Fill us with love. We pray with grateful hearts, Amen.
THE SACRAMENT OF HOLY COMMUNION Rev. FarrisI invite you to take the communion elements you have in your home–a piece of bread or cracker and a cup of water or juice. After I consecrate the elements at the altar table, I invite us to commune all together, receiving the bread and cup which make Christ present and real to us in our bodies, hearts, and souls.
We experience the presence of Christ in our hearts through the grace of God which knows no walls or boundaries, in which there is no distance or separating. We are always truly “one with Christ, one with each other, and one in ministry to all the world!”
