For your creation which lies in and us around us
For the power of your Spirit by which you made the universe
For the strength of your Word by which you gave us life
All: We give you thanks

​For your liberation which is with us and near us
For the power of your Spirit by which Jesus was born of Mary
For the weakness of his flesh by which you have redeemed the world
All: We give you thanks

As the holy angels sang for joy when Jesus was born
It is our duty and our joy
To celebrate with your people of all places and times
To worship you and proclaim your praise
With all of heaven’s angels and to join their celebration
All: Praise be to God

Jesus Christ is here for you
Draw near with faith
Let Christ be born in you and you in Christ

Take communion together

Holy, gracious, God, here at this table your promise of life is made tangible.
We have rested in the depth of your love; We have tasted your nourishing, nurturing presence; We accept you into our bodies, into our lives.
Together, at this table, you have offered us life.
Together, by your grace, we accept the life you offer.
All: And we give you thanks.
