Gathering to Worship
Prelude
Welcome
Call to Worship
Leader: This is the day that Jesus the Messiah, the Lamb of
God, gave himself into the hands of those who would slay him.
People: This is the day that Jesus gathered with his
disciples in the upper room.
Leader: This is the day that Jesus took a towel and washed the
disciples’ feet, giving us an example that we should do to others
as he has done to us.
People: This is the day that Christ our God gave us the holy
feast, that we who eat this bread and drink this cup may
here proclaim his holy sacrifice, and be partakers of his
resurrection, and at the last day may reign with him in
heaven.
