And As They Were Eating, Jesus Took Bread

And as they were eating, Jesus took bread,

blessed and broke it, and gave it to the disciples and said, "Take, eat; this is my body."

Then He took the cup, and gave thanks,

and gave it to them, saying, "Drink from it,

all of you. For this is My blood of the new covenant, which is shed for many for the remission of sins. But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you

in My Father's kingdom."

Scripture ReadingI Thessalonians 2

Pastoral Prayer

Offertory Song"Pass Me Not, O Gentle

Savior"

1. Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art smiling, do not pass me by.

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.

2. Let me at Thy throne of mercy find a sweet relief;

Kneeling there in deep contrition, help my unbelief.

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.

3. Trusting only in Thy merit, would I seek Thy face;

Heal my wounded, broken spirit, save me by Thy grace.

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.

4. Thou the Spring of all my comfort, more than life to me,

Whom have I on earth beside Thee? Whom in heav'n but Thee?

Savior, Savior, hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling, do not pass me by.

Call to WorshipPastor Andy Dunkerton

Opening Song"In My Heart"

1. In my heart there is a stirring, one that did not start with me;

A love to worship my Creator, to show His love for all to see.

I will worship, I will honor, I will exalt the Lord above;

All my days I’ll sing the praises of His great redeeming love.

2. In my heart there is a treason, one that poisons all my love.

Take my heart and consecrate it, wash it in Your cleansing flood.

(Chorus)

3. Tie me to the Rock unchanging, tie me to His wondrous cross.

I’ll fix my eyes upon the Savior, all other things I count as loss.

(Chorus, 2 times)

and Hymn#188 "There is a

Fountain"

Closing Song"The Power of the Cross"

1. O, to see the dawn of the darkest day; Christ on the road to Calvary.

Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then nailed to a cross of wood.

This the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us.

Took the blame, bore the wrath; we stand forgiven at the cross.

2. O, to see the pain written on Your face,

bearing the awesome weight of sin.

Ev’ry bitter thought, ev’ry evil deed crowning Your bloodstained brow.

This the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us.

Took the blame, bore the wrath; we stand forgiven at the cross.

3. Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath quakes

as its Maker bows His head.

Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life – “Finished!” the vic’try cry.

This the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us.

Took the blame, bore the wrath; we stand forgiven at the cross.

4. O, to see my name written in the wounds, for through

Your suff’ring I am free.

Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live,

won through Your selfless love!

This the pow’r of the cross: Son of God – slain for us.

What a love, what a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.
