Table Fellowship: Prayer for Wine

Our Father in Heaven,
Today we draw near to You with praise because you have called us out the world, out of death, and out of enmity with Your Son, the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. We come to You, Father, in Christ by faith, and we trust in Your mercy and we rejoice in Your salvation. Today, Lord, You have called us to this fellowship meal, and we thank-you for this wine, which represents the blood poured out from the crucified body of our Risen Lord. Together all of us sing: Glory be to the Father; Glory be to the Son, Jesus Christ: and Glory be to the Holy Ghost. We lift our hearts and voices up to You, our Triune Lord, because you have dealt bountifully with us. Amen.

Table Fellowship: Prayer for Bread

Our Father in Heaven,
We draw near to You at this Table today with praise because you have called us out of the world, out of death, and out of enmity with Your Son, the Risen Lord, Jesus Christ. Father, we sit down with You at this Fellowship Meal in Christ by faith, and we trust in Your mercy and rejoice in Your salvation. We thank You, Almighty Lord, for this bread, which has been broken in likeness of the crucified body of our Risen Lord. You alone have called us from the East and the West and the North and the South, and gathered here together we sing: Glory be to the Father; Glory be to the Son, Jesus Christ; and Glory be to the Holy Ghost. We lift our hearts and voices up to You, our Triune Lord, because you have dealt bountifully with us. Amen.

Prayer for Bread

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, king of the universe, who brings forth bread from the earth. We thank you for this Table Fellowship, its unity and intimacy; it is because of this feast that man is able to come from the east and west, the north and the south, and sit down in the kingdom of God. Lord, we will celebrate the death of your Son and his resurrection until he returns again. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.

Prayer for Wine

Heavenly Father, we thank you for this Cup and the blood of grapes symbolizing the blood of the True Vine, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Thank you, gracious Lord, for reconciliation and new life by the power and presence of the Holy Spirit as we participate in Jesus’ transfigured humanity. May we proclaim the Lord’s death until He returns, for you have chosen to strengthen and renew us at this most blessed table. Come, Lord Jesus. Amen.
