Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old? Willthe Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousands of rivers of oil? Shall Igive my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?” Hehas told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to dojustice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?Hymn SingScriptureElizabeth LarsonMatthew 25:31-40“When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angelswith him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gatheredbefore him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates thesheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at theleft. Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by myFather, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for Iwas hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, Iwas a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sickand you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous willanswer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirstyand gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger andwelcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sickor in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as youdid it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’

Response: “And also with you.”)Song of CommunionHere O My LordCH #416Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face,here would I touch and handle things unseen;here grasp with firmer hand eternal grace,and all my weariness upon thee lean.Here I will feed upon the bread of God,here drink with thee the royal wine of heav'n;here would I lay aside each earthly load;here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiv'n.Too soon we rise; the symbols disappear;the feast, tho' not the love, is past and gone;the bread and wine remove, but thou art here-nearer than ever--still my shield and sun.Feast after feast thus comes and passes by;yet, passing, points to that glad feast above-giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,the Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.Prayer for Communion and Words of InstitutionPartaking of the Lord’s Supper: ALL are truly welcome to partake.Please partake of the gluten free bread and the grape juice as they are passed to you.
