Liturgy of the Eucharist

Apostles Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord

(bow up to and including” the Virgin Mary”)

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; He descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.

Eucharistic Prayer

Communion Song

Song of Sending

Christ is Risen Let no one caught in sin remain, inside the lie of inward shame. We fix our eyes upon the cross, and run to him who showed great love. And bled for us. Freely you bled, for us. Christ is risen from the dead, trampling over death by death. Come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave. Christ is risen from the dead, we are one with him again. Come awake, come awake, come and rise up from the grave. Beneath the weight of all our sin, You bow to none but heavens will. No scheme of hell, no scoffer's crown. No burden great can hold you down. In strength you reign. Forever let your church proclaim. Oh death! Where is your sting? Oh hell! Where is your victory? Oh Church! Come stand in the light! The glory of God has defeated the night! Oh death! Where is your sting? Oh hell! Where is your victory? Oh Church! Come stand in the light! Our God is not dead! He’s alive, he’s alive. Matt Maher

I Send You Out I baptize you in the name of the Father

I baptize you in the name of the Son

I baptize you with the Holy Spirit

Go out and spread Good News

I send you out on a mission of love

I send you out on a mission of love

I send you out on a mission of love

and know that I am with you always

until the end of the world

Well, it’s time for us to become people with spirit

It’s time for us to become people of love

It’s time for us to know that Jesus Christ is risen

forgives our sins and brings us new life

Worthy are you, O Paschal lamb. Wisdom and strength belong now to you. You laid down your life and died upon the cross: We’ve become a people of hope. Worthy are you, O Bread of Life. Salvation and joy belong now to us. By conquering death and rising to new life, We’ve become a people of praise. Worthy are you, O Risen Christ. Wonders and signs, revealing your might. Your power and glory shine upon our lives: We’ve become your light for the world.
