Great Thanksgiving
Breaking of the Bread
Communion of the People Congregants are served communion in the pews. Please hold the bread and cup to partake together. Federated celebrates an open table, meaning all who trust in Christ are welcome to receive communion. Grape juice (along with a fructose-free alternative at the center of trays) is served for communion, though the service sometimes refers to “wine.” Gluten-free wafers are at the center of bread trays. Children are welcome to receive communion with the permission of parents and guardians as part of the family’s on-going conversations about faith. After partaking, please place cups in pew holders.
Prayer After Communion God of grace, we give you thanks for the feast of redemption we have shared in the body and blood of our Savior. As you have nourished us with love, let our lives proclaim your great love for the world; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.
Invitation to The Offering One: What shall we offer for all God’s goodness to us? All: Let us lift up the cup of salvation and call on the name of the Lord.
*As you are able, please rise in body or in spirit.
Offertory Come, Sweet Death Bach

Praise Holy Spirit evermore; Praise Triune God, whom we adore. Amen. * Prayer of Dedication Gracious God, you pour out blessing upon us and cover us with grace.
