Digital Service of Word & Prayer
Including the Lord’s Supper • Holy Communion
To replicate a Holy Communion service at home, you’ll need bread (or crackers), wine or grape juice, and optionally a tablecloth, candles, or other symbols. During the service, break the bread and share the cup while reflecting on Jesus’ sacrifice, using the prayers and readings as guided. Whenever possible, we encourage taking part in the Eucharist in person for fellowship and community.

Drawing Near to God
The minister greets the people:
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. 2 Corinthians 3.13
And also with you.
The minister reads the Two Great Commandments:
Matthew 22: 37–40
The minister introduces a prayer of confession:
Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness.
we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed,
and in what we have failed to do:
we have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;
we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.
Father forgive us.
Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The minister assures the people of God's forgiveness:

Prayer of Humble Access
We do not presume to come to your table,
merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness,

the crumbs under your table.
But you are the same Lord,
whose nature is always to have mercy.
Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord,
so to eat the flesh of your dear Son,
Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood,
that we may evermore dwell in him,
And he in us. Amen.
