Readings
First reading is from Ezekiel 17:22-24
This is the word of the Lord.
All Thanks be to God.
Psalm 92
1 It is a good thing to give thanks to the Lord ♦
and to sing praises to your name, O Most High;
2 To tell of your love early in the morning ♦
and of your faithfulness in the night-time,
3 Upon the ten-stringed instrument, upon the harp, ♦
and to the melody of the lyre.
4 For you, Lord, have made me glad by your acts, ♦
and I sing aloud at the works of your hands.
12 The righteous shall flourish like a palm tree, ♦
and shall spread abroad like a cedar of Lebanon.
13 Such as are planted in the house of the Lord ♦
shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age; ♦
they shall be vigorous and in full leaf;
15 That they may show that the Lord is true; ♦
he is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in him.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son, ♦ And to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now ♦ and ever shall be.
Amen.
Second reading is from 2 Corinthians 5:6-17

The Lord be with you
All and also with you.
Lift up your hearts.
All We lift them to the Lord.
Let us give thanks to the Lord our God
All It is right to give thanks and praise.
It is truly right and just, our duty and our salvation,
always and everywhere to give you thanks,
holy Father, almighty and eternal God.
From sunrise to sunset this day is holy,
for Christ has risen from the tomb
and scattered the darkness of death
with light that will not fade.
This day the risen Lord walks with your gathered people,
unfolds for us your word,
and makes himself known in the breaking of the bread.
And though the night will overtake this day
you summon us to live in endless light,
the never-ceasing sabbath of the Lord.
And so, with choirs of angels and with all the heavenly host,
we proclaim your glory and join their unending song of praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Father, on the night before he died,
Jesus shared a meal with his friends.
He took the bread, and thanked you.
He broke it, and gave it to them, saying:
Take and eat; this is my body, given for you.
Do this to remember me.
After the meal, Jesus took the cup of wine.
He thanked you, and gave it to them, saying: Drink this, all of you.
This is my blood, the new promise of God’s unfailing love.
Do this to remember me.
Great is the mystery of faith:
Christ has died,
Christ is risen,
Christ will come again.
Father, as we bring this bread and wine,
and remember his death and resurrection,
send your Holy Spirit, that we who share these gifts
may be fed by Christ’s body and his blood.
Pour your Spirit on us that we may love one another,
work for the healing of the earth, and share the good news of Jesus,as we wait for his coming in glory.
For honour and praise belong to you, Father,
with Jesus your Son, and the Holy Spirit:one God, for ever and ever.
All Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer
Lord Jesus, remember us in your kingdom and teach us to pray.
All Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.
Breaking of the Bread
The president breaks the consecrated bread.
Lord, make your word flesh.
All And fill us with grace and truth.
Giving of Communion
The gifts of God for the people of God.
Come and share God’s heavenly food.

Prayer after Communion
All Loving Father,
we thank you for feeding us at the supper of your Son:
sustain us with your Spirit,
that we may serve you here on earth
until our joy is complete in heaven,
and we share in the eternal banquet
with Jesus Christ our Lord.
The Dismissal
The Lord God almighty is our Father:
All he loves us and tenderly cares for us.
The Lord Jesus Christ is our Saviour:
All he has redeemed us and will defend us to the end.
The Lord, the Holy Spirit, is among us:
All he will lead us in God’s holy way.
To God almighty, Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
be praise and glory today and for ever. Amen.
