liturgy for land sunday in the season of creation: september 13

In anticipation of celebrating Land Sunday on September 13th during the live streaming reflections at https://www.facebook.com/Be-Still-and-Know-913217865701531/here is this weeks liturgy for our virtual Eucharist.

Celebration of the Eucharist for Creation
The live streaming starts at 9:55 am with various recorded tunes and continues until 10:03 to give people a chance to log on, get grounded and be fully present. After the morning reflections, we will use this liturgy to celebrate Eucharist together. Please have some bread and wine/grape juice for the sacrament.

Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow
Gonna mulch it deep and low gonna make it fertile ground
Inch by inch, row by row, please bless these seeds I sow
Please keep them safe below til the rain comes tumbling down


Great Thanksgiving

Leader: The Lord is with you.
People: And also with you.
Leader: Lift up your hearts.
People: We lift them to the Lord.
Leader: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People: It is right to give God thanks and praise.
Leader: It is right…

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
Earth, sea and sky are full of your glory: Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest.

Leader: Yes, blessed is the One who comes in the name of the Lord… all this we ask through Jesus Christ: by him, with him and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory are yours, Almighty God, now and forever. Amen.

Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name: your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread; And forgive us our sins and we forgive those who sin against you. Save us in the time of trial and deliver us from evil; for the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours, now and forever. Amen.

Words of Remembrance and Communion
Leader: Among friends, gathered around a table, Jesus took bread… These are the gift of God for the whole people of God. Take them in remembrance of Christ’s death and resurrection that you may feed on him in your hearts by faith and thanksgiving: come, for all things are now ready. Come to the table to unite with all in need, come to the table for the forgiveness of sins, come to the table for the gift of assurance in a season of doubt, and come to the table to renew your commitment to compassion and solidarity.
Unison: Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, have mercy on us. Lamb of God, you take away the sins of the world, grant us peace.

Leader: The body of Christ, the bead of heaven, broken for you. Take and eat.
People: Amen.

Please share the bread at this time

Leader: The cup of blessing poured out for you in grace: take and drink.
People: Amen

Please share the cup at this time


Glory to our Creator, and to the Christ and to the Holy Spirit:
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be;
World without end. Amen.
