Call to worship Matthew 22: 34 – 40
“But when the Pharisees heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. Then one of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him, and saying, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?”
Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.””
“A farizeusok pedig, hallván, hogy a sadduczeusokat elnémította vala, egybegyűlének; És megkérdé őt közülök egy törvénytudó, kisértvén őt, és mondván: Mester, melyik a nagy parancsolat a törvényben?
Jézus pedig monda néki: Szeresd az Urat, a te Istenedet teljes szívedből, teljes lelkedből és teljes elmédből. Ez az első és nagy parancsolat.
A második pedig hasonlatos ehhez: Szeresd felebarátodat, mint magadat. E két parancsolattól függ az egész törvény és a próféták.”

Reading John 14: 1 – 6
“Let not your heart be troubled; you believe in God, believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many mansions; if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also. And where I go you know, and the way you know.”
Thomas said to Him, “Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?”
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” - Reika
“Ne nyugtalankodjék a ti szívetek: higyjetek Istenben, és higyjetek én bennem. Az én Atyámnak házában sok lakóhely van; ha pedig nem [volna], megmondtam volna néktek. Elmegyek, hogy helyet készítsek néktek. És ha majd elmegyek és helyet készítek néktek, ismét eljövök és magamhoz veszlek titeket; hogy a hol én vagyok, ti is ott legyetek.
És hogy hová megyek én, tudjátok; az útat is tudjátok. Monda néki Tamás: Uram, nem tudjuk hová mégy; mimódon tudhatjuk azért az útat? Monda néki Jézus: Én vagyok az út, az igazság és az élet; senki sem mehet az Atyához, hanemha én általa”

Hymn Cynthia
Lord’s Supper
We are going to share the Lord’s Supper together in a moment. This simple meal reminds us of the meal that Jesus shared with His friends the night before He was betrayed and hung on a cross. We share this meal because Jesus told us to do so when we gather together.
Paul wrote to his friends in Corinth to help them understand the Lord’s Supper. Here’s what Paul said in 1 Corinthians 11:23-27:
“For I received from the Lord what I also passed on to you: The Lord Jesus, on the night he was betrayed, took bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, 'This is my body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of me.' In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, 'This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.' For whenever you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.”
We will use Paul’s message to guide us as we take the Lord’s Supper together. But before we begin, we should think about who should share in this meal. You shouldn’t celebrate the Lord’s Supper just because you feel you have to or to fit in with everyone else. You should celebrate it if you love the Lord and want to love Him more – you don’t have to be perfect to take part.
So, let us celebrate the Lord’s Supper together this morning.
In verse 24, Jesus takes the bread, gives thanks, breaks it, and gives it to His disciples, saying, "Take and eat; this is my body." As you take the bread, remember that Jesus gave His body to be broken on the cross for you because He loves you. Think about how much Jesus loves you and find strength and hope to serve God today and every day.
In verse 25, Jesus takes the cup, gives thanks, and offers it to His disciples, saying, “Drink from it, all of you. This is my blood of the covenant, which is poured out for many for the forgiveness of sins.” The wine represents Jesus’ blood shed on the cross and reminds us that Jesus died so that our failures to love God and others could be forgiven.
Before you come forward to celebrate the Lord’s Supper, take a moment to thank God for all that Jesus has done for you because He loves you.
When you are ready, come forward to get the bread and the wine and return to your seat. As you take the bread and wine, remember what they mean and give thanks for Jesus and His love for you.
People come forward to receive the bread and wine. Gillian & Marguerite to distribute the elements.
