A hymn follows, celebrating the holiness of God, whose light fills heaven and earth, inviting all to join in worship.

The narrative recalls the Last Supper where Jesus broke bread and shared wine with His disciples, instructing them to remember Him. This act symbolizes the Body and Blood of Christ, binding believers together in covenant renewal.

Participants reflect on hearing God's Word through scripture, recounting redemption stories, and becoming part of salvation history. They drink from a cup representing memory and divine presence, seeking strength for faith and service.

A hymn celebrates Jesus as life, acknowledging His death and resurrection, affirming the promise of His return in this feast.

Prayers request the Holy Spirit to transform bread and wine into Christ's Body and Blood, enabling believers to embody Christ's living presence in the world. The prayers also seek unity for the Church, remember departed friends, and worship God with all creation.

The service concludes with "Amen," affirming faith and commitment, followed by The Lord’s Prayer and sharing of the sacrament.
