And he said unto them, Behold, when ye are entering into the city, there shall a man meet you, bearing a pitcher of water; follow him into the house where he entereth in.  11. And ye shall say unto the goodman of the house, The Master saith unto thee, Where is the guest chamber, where I shall eat the Passover with my disciples? 12. And he shall show you a large upper room furnished: there make ready.  13. And they went, and found as he had said unto them:  and they made ready the Passover.

Let Us Break Bread Together                                                                                                                    252

 

Solo and Congregation:  “Jesus is the Sweetest Name I Know”

There have been names that I have loved to hear.

   But never has there been a name so dear

To this heart of mine, as the name divine.

   The precious, precious name of Jesus.

 

Chorus:

Jesus is the sweetest name I know,

   And He’s just the same as His lovely name.

And that’s the reason why I love Him so;

   Oh, Jesus is the sweetest  name I know.

 

And some day I shall see Him face to face

   To thank and praise Him for His wondrous grace,

Which He gave to me, when He made me free,

   The blessed Son of God called Jesus.

 

Hymn:             “Amazing Grace”                                                                                                              165

Amazing Grace! How sweet the sound,

   That saved a wretch like me.

I once was lost, but now am found,

   Was blind, but now I see.

 

‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

   And grace my fears relieved;

How precious did that grace appear

   The hour I first believed.

 

Scripture:        I John 4:7-11

7. Beloved, let us love one another; for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.  8. He that loveth not, knoweth not God; for God is love.  9. In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.  10. Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.  11. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

 

Sharing of Testimonies

 

Chorus:           “God is So Good.”                                                                                                                 

God is so good, God is so good,

God is so good, He’s so good to me.                                                                                                   

           

Scripture:         I Corinthians 10:16-17, 21; 11:27-29

10:16. The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ?  The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ?  17. For we being many are one bread, and one body; for we are all partakers of that one bread.  21. Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table, and of the table of devils.  11:27.  Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.  28. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.  29. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord’s body.

 

Hymn:             “When I Survey the Wondrous Cross”                                                                              111

When I survey the wondrous cross

   On which the Prince of glory died,

My richest gain I count but loss,

   And pour contempt on all my pride.

 

Forbid it Lord that I should boast

   Save in the death of Christ my God.

All the vain things that charm me most,

   I sacrifice them to His blood.

 

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

   That were a present far too small.

Love so amazing, so divine

   Demands my soul, my life, my all.

Scripture         I Corinthians 11:23-24

23. For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the same night in  which he was betrayed, took bread; 24. And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: This do in remembrance of me.

 

Prayer of Blessing

 

Sharing of Bread

 

Hymn:             “Break Thou the Bread of Life”                                                                                         178

Break thou the bread of life, Dear Lord, to me,

   As thou didst break the loaves beside the sea;

Beyond the sacred page I seek Thee, Lord;

   My spirit pants for Thee, O living Word.

 

Thou art the bread of life, O Lord, to me,

   Thy holy Word the truth That saveth me;

Give me to eat and live With Thee above;

   Teach me to love Thy Truth, For thou art love.

 

Scripture:        Mark 14:22

And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat; this is my body,

 

Eating of the Bread

 

Scripture:        I Corinthians 11:25-26

25. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.  26. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord’s death till he come.

 

Prayer of Blessing

 

Sharing of the Cup

 

Hymn:             “At the Cross”                                                                                                                   157

Alas, and did my Saviour bleed, And did my Sovereign die?

   Would He devote that sacred head For sinners such as I?

At the cross, at the cross Where I first saw the light,

   And the burden of my heart rolled away,

It was there by faith I received my sight,

   And now I am happy all the day.

 

Scripture:        Matthew 26:27-28

27. And he took the up, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it.  28. For this is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.

 

Drinking of the Cup

 

Scripture:        John 13:34-35

34. A new commandment I give unto ye, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.  35. By this shall all  men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another.

 

Hymn:             “I Love Thee”                                                                                                                     75

I love Thee, I love Thee, I love Thee my Lord:

   I love Thee, my Saviour, I love Thee my God:

I love Thee, I love Thee, and that Thou dost know;

   But how much I love Thee my actions will show.

 

Our Master hath told us to follow His steps

   To  love one another, forgive and forget,

To reach out, to follow, are His chief commands,

   If we’ll only let Him, He’ll touch through our hands.

 

Now let us as Christians show others our love

   And follow the sample of our Lord above.

As His Holy Spirit works through us each day

   We’ll praise Him, We’ll praise Him both now and for aye.

 

Scripture:        Matthew 26:30

30. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.

 

Hymn:             “Blest Be the Tie”                                                                                                              256

Blest be the tie that binds

   Our hearts in Christian love;

The fellowship of kindred minds

   Is like to that above.

                                                            . . . Amen
