14. Blessed are you, God of all creation, Source of all mercies Fount of love beyond all measure Wondrously, you created the heavens and the earth, Hovering in gracious care over all that you have made. You formed us in your image of love in the world.

Tonight, in this meal, we remember and celebrate these gifts we know through Jesus.

We pray for the gift of your Spirit: in our gathering, upon this bread and wine, among all your people, and throughout the world. With your Spirit: make us one with God, make us one with each other, make us one in ministry throughout the world, until we feast at your heavenly banquet.
