Welcome
Opening Prayer
The Lord’s Prayer
Hymn No. 216 – Beneath the Cross of Jesus
Be-neath the cross of Je–sus
I fain would take my stand,
the shad–ow of a might–y
Rock with–in a wea–ry land,
a home with–in the wil–der–ness,
a rest up–on the way,
from the burn–ing of the noon-tide heat,
and the bur–den of the day.

I take, O cross, thy shad–ow
for my a–bid–ing place;
I ask no oth-er sun-shine than
the sun–shine of his face,
con–tent to let the world go by,
to know no gain nor loss,
my sin–ful self my on–ly shame,my glo–ry all the cross.
Mark 14:17-26 - The Last Supper

Hymn No. 776 – Let Us Break Bread Together

Let us break bread to-geth-er on our knees;
Let us break bread to-geth-er on our knees.

(Chorus) When I fall on my knees, with my face
to the ris-ing sun, O Lord, have mer-cy on me.
Let us drink wine to-geth-er on our knees;
Let us drink wine to-geth-er on our knees.
(Chorus)
