The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who is in heaven, hallowed be Your name.
Your kingdom come. Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For Yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever. Amen

For our sake He made Him to be sin Who knew no sin, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God.

§ The Confession of Faith
Heidelberg Catechism Question #75-77
Leader: How does the Holy Supper remind and assure you that you share in Christ’s one sacrifice on the cross and in all His benefits?
People: In this way: Christ has commanded me and all believers to eat this broken bread and to drink this cup in remembrance of Him. With this command come these promises: First, as surely as I see with my eyes the bread of the Lord broken for me and the cup shared with me, so surely His Body was offered and broken for me and His Blood poured out for me on the cross.
Second, as surely as I receive from the hand of the one who serves, and taste with my mouth the bread and cup of the Lord, given me as sure signs of Christ’s Body and Blood, so surely He nourishes and refreshes my soul for eternal life with His crucified Body and poured-out Blood.
Leader: What does it mean to eat the crucified Body of Christ and to drink His poured-out Blood?
People: It means to accept with a believing heart the entire suffering and death of Christ and thereby to receive forgiveness of sins and eternal life.
But it means more. Through the Holy Spirit, Who lives both in Christ and in us, we are united more and more to Christ’s blessed Body. And so, although He is in heaven and we are on earth, we are flesh of His Flesh and bone of His Bone. And we forever live on and are governed by one Spirit, as the members of our body are by one soul.
Leader: Where does Christ promise to nourish and refresh believers with His Body and Blood as surely as they eat this broken bread and drink this cup?
People: In the institution of the Lord’s Supper: “The Lord Jesus on the night when He was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, ‘This is my body that is [broken]* for you. Do this in remembrance of me.’ In the same way He took the cup also, after supper, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in My Blood, Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.’ For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s Death until He comes.”
This promise is repeated by Paul in these words: “The cup of blessing that we bless, is it not a sharing in the Blood of Christ? The bread that we break, is it not a sharing in the Body of Christ? Because there is one bread, we who are many are one body, for we all partake of the one bread.”
*The word “broken” does not appear in the NRSV text, but it was present in the original German of the Heidelberg Catechism.
