We gather as beloved community to share the Collect:
Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may receive it thankfully in remembrance of Jesus Christ our Lord, who in these holy mysteries gives us a pledge of eternal life; and who now lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
 
A New Covenant
 
On the night when he was betrayed,
When he had given thanks,
Jesus took the bread,
He broke it and said,
"This is my body that is for you.
Do this in remembrance of me."
 
We gather as beloved community,
We gather to break the bread together,
We gather as beloved community,
To partake of His body that is for us,
We gather as beloved community,
In remembrance of Him
 
He took the cup also,
after supper, saying,
"This cup is the new covenant in my blood.
Do this, as often as you drink it,
in remembrance of me."
 
We gather as beloved community,
We gather to drink from the cup together,
We gather as beloved community,
To celebrate the new covenant in Jesus' blood,
We gather as beloved community,
In remembrance of Him
 
Based on The Epistle, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26
