Communion

Jesus wants us to remember him.

He gave us this meal.

Bread.

To remember that he was real –

A body like ours

That was bruised

And was broken

And that died on a cross.

Wine.

To remember that he had life like us –

Breath in his lungs

And blood in his veins

Blood that flowed out

When he died on a cross.

Jesus wants us to remember him.

He gave us his life.

And as we remember him at this table, sharing this meal, we do so with gratitude.  A meal familiar to so many of us but one that we should come to as if for the first time.  Remembering all that he has done for us and knowing that it is so much more than we could ever deserve. Remembering to thank him today, and every day and asking that his love shown so clearly through the bread and the wine that we share may be reflected, in some small way, to those around us.

Creator and our loving God

We thank you

And we praise you.

You have made us in your image

And have promised

To love us

And to protect us.

You have sent your son

To be our Saviour.

To love us

And to lead us.

You have left us your spirit

To surround us each day.

To love us

And to bring us comfort.

May we know your protection,

Be happy to follow

And feel your comfort

Today, and every day.
