Clothed With Christ Series

one with Him, one with each other, and one in ministry to the world.

Send Your Holy Spirit, Lord,

that we might be filled anew with grace,

clothed in Christ,

and renewed in love.

Through Jesus Christ our Lord, we pray. Amen.

Distribution of the Elements

(Adapt based on your local practice—spoken as people come forward or are served.)

The Body of our Lord Jesus Christ, broken for you—preserve you blameless unto everlasting life.

Take and eat in remembrance that Christ died for you, and be thankful.

The Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ, shed for you—preserve you blameless unto everlasting life.

Drink in remembrance that Christ’s blood was poured out for you, and be thankful.

Post-Communion Reflection:

You are not what the world says you are.

You are not defined by your mistakes, your achievements, or your circumstances.

You are not what others label you—or what you’ve labeled yourself.

You are clothed with Christ.

You are a child of God.

You are part of the family.

And at this Table, you are home.

Final Benediction (Call and Response Style):

Let us leave in faith, hope, and unity. And now, together, we pray:

We go with hope, because God goes before us.

We go with grace, because God is in us.

We go with certainty, because God is real.

And we go expecting great things,

because our God accomplishes the impossible.

Here we are, God—send us, we pray. Amen.
