Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, thy
will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and
forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors; and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory,
forever. Amen.
Communion of the People Communion is by “intinction.” The server gives you bread to dip in the
cup. Servers disinfect their hands. Please come forward by the inner aisles and return by the outer
ones. Gluten free bread is available on the table, and the cup is non-alcoholic. If you cannot come
forward, communion will be brought to you.
Here Is Bread, Here Is Wine
Here is bread, here is wine: Christ is with us: He is with us.
Break the bread; taste the wine: Christ is with us here.
In this bread there is healing; in this cup there’s life forever.
In this moment, by the Spirit, Christ is with us here. (Repeat All)

will feel comforted and surrounded by God’s love. At any time if there is someone you
would like to receive a shawl, contact Pastor Preston Shealy, Phyllis Miller
(273-0907) or Linda Wilton (486-4233). Recipients do not need to be members of our
congregation.

Boulevard’s Prayer Shawl Ministry will meet today at 12:30 PM in Room 111. Knitters and
crocheters of all skill levels are welcome - even those wanting to learn! As part of the group
or on our own, we will create shawls to be given to Boulevard members and others in need of
an expression of God’s love to comfort or celebrate life’s changes. Bring your current shawl
project, or we have yarn and needles to get you started. Together, we’ll grow in faith and skill
practice.
