There's a spirit of love in this place, 

There's a spirit of love in this place, 

You can't see it but it's there,

just as precious as the air.

There's a spirit of love in this place,Slide6

There's the presence of peace

in

this room,

There's the presence of peace

in

this room,

In God's tenderness is found 

peace that passes human bounds. 

There's the presence of peace

in

this room.  Slide7

Creator of the universe,

you made the world in beauty,

and restore all things in glory

the new creation in Jesus Christ

may appear in justice, love, and peace,

to the glory of your name. Amen

As We Gather at Your TableSlide18

As we gather at your table, 

as we listen to your word, 

help us know, O God, your presence; 

let our hearts and minds be stirred.

Nourish us with sacred story 

till we claim it as our own; 

teach us through this holy banquet

 how to make Love’s victory known.Slide19

Turn

our worship into witness 

in the sacrament of life;

send us forth to love and serve you,

bringing peace where there is strife.

Give us, Christ, your great compassion 

to forgive as you forgave;

may we still behold your image

in the world you died to save.Slide20

Gracious Spirit, help us summon 

other guests to share that feast 

where triumphant Love will welcome 

those who had been last and least.

There no more will envy bind us 

nor will pride our peace destroy,

As we join with saints and angels 

to repeat the sounding joy.Slide21

“Here

, O My Lord, I See You Face to

Face”

Vs

. 1,3,5

 Slide41

1.

Here

, O my Lord, I see you face to face; 

here would I touch and handle things unseen; 

Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace, 

And all my weariness upon you lean.Slide42

3.

 This is the hour of banquet and of song;

this is the heavenly table spread anew; 

Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong

the brief, bright hour together here with you

.Slide43

.

We

have no help but yours,

nor

do we need 

another

strength than yours to lean upon. 

It is enough, O Lord,

enough

indeed; our faith is in your might, your might alone.Slide44

Choral Blessing

“A Closing Prayer”

by Don

BesigSlide47

The time has come, O Lord,

for us to leave this place.

Guide us and protect us,

and lead us in Thy grace.

Wherever life may take us,

as we go our separate ways,

Help us share with others

the things we’ve shared todaySlide48

May the peace of God, Creator,

and the love of Christ, God’s son,

guide us in the days ahead

and strengthen us, each one.

May the blessings of the spirit

fill us from within.

God bless us and return us

to this fellowship once again.
