HOLY COMMUNION: The Shape of the Rite
(Central elements of the Holy Communion liturgy are noted in uppercase
letters, other elements support and reveal the essential shape of
Christian worship.)
Sunday is the primary day on which the Church assembles: the first day
of creation when God transformed darkness into light and the day on
which Christ rose from death and revealed himself to the disciples in
the scriptures and the breaking of bread. The baptized gather to hear
the word, to pray for those in need, to offer thanks to God for the gift
of salvation, to receive the bread of life and the cup of blessing, and
to be renewed for the daily witness of faith, hope, and love. To guests,
strangers, and all in need, the Church offers these good things of God’s
grace.

PRAYER OF THE DAY
God calls and gathers believers through the Holy Spirit, and in response
the community acclaims this gracious God in song and prayer. The
gathering of the congregation may begin with a confession of sin and/or
an entrance hymn. God’s welcome is extended to the congregation by the
presider. When appropriate, a litany or hymn of praise may be sung
immediately before the prayer of the day. Through these actions, the
congregation prepares to hear the Word of God.

THE PRAYERS
In the rich treasure of Scripture proclaimed by readers and preachers,
the Church hears the good news of God acting in this and every time and
place. A three-year cycle of readings provides portions of the Hebrew
Scriptures, the New Testament letters, and the Gospel books for each
week. During Advent/Christmas the lectionary reveals the mystery of the
Word made flesh. In Lent/Easter, the paschal mystery of the Lord’s death
and resurrection is proclaimed. Throughout the Season after Pentecost,
the New Testament texts are read in a continuous order. During the last
Sundays of the year, the readings present the final vision of a new
heaven and a new earth.
This encounter with the living Word, Jesus Christ, is marked by
proclamation and silence, psalm and hymn, singing and speaking, movement
and gesture. Silence after the readings allows time for the word to be
pondered. The sermon announces good news for the community and the
world; the hymn of the day both proclaims and responds to the word; a
creed is a further response to it. God’s Word, read and preached and
acclaimed, leads the community to pray for the Church, the people of the
world, and those who suffer or are in need.

Prayer
In thanksgiving, the congregation praises God for the gracious gifts of
creation and the saving deeds of Jesus Christ. To the table of the Lord
are brought bread and wine, simple signs of God’s love, humble signs of
human labor. In word and gesture, prayer and song, the people lift up
their hearts in praise and thanksgiving for the gifts of forgiveness,
life, and salvation, hearing Jesus’ words spoken at this supper,
remembering his death and resurrection. The presider asks that the Holy
Spirit unite the community in the Lord’s bread and cup so that, as one
body in Christ, it too might proclaim God’s salvation in the world. To
this grateful proclamation, the community joins its “Amen” before
praying the Lord’s Prayer with one voice. Welcomed to the table, each
one is united with God in Christ, with each other, and with the Church’s
mission in the world. During the communion, hymns, songs, and psalms may
be sung. As the table is cleared, the congregation may sing a canticle.
A brief prayer concludes the liturgy of the meal.

BLESSING
Dismissal
Worship on the Lord’s Day ends with simplicity. The community receives
the blessing of God. All are invited to leave in peace, sent out to
serve in word and deed: to speak the words of good news they have heard,
to care for those in need, and to share what they have received with the
poor and the hungry.
