Hymn: The Family of God
 
Call to Worship
​Around the world people gather to break bread and drink wine. We gather with them in heart and soul. Around the world the broken body is made whole. As part of that body we join in its unity. Around the world the banquet of God is prepared for the table. We who share in the banquet come eagerly to be fed. Let us worship together, let us share in God's bounty.

Prayer of Confession
Jesus prayed that we might be one; one in spirit and one in mission. In union and communion with each other and you. Today, God, we confess our fumblings and failures in accomplishing unity, as we set aside yet another day to remind ourselves of the task. On this world wide communion Sunday, give us eyes to recognize your reflection in the eyes of Christians everywhere. We thank you for setting the table with space enough for us all. We ask all these things on this Sabbath morning. 
 
Time of Personal Reflection

Assurance of Pardon
In Christ there is no east or west,
In him no south or north,
But one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth.
In Jesus Christ, there is new life.
In Jesus Christ, we are forgiven.
 
Hymn: The Church's One Foundation
 
Apostle's Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
      maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,
      who was conceived by the Holy Ghost
      and born of the virgin Mary.
      Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
      was crucified, dead and buried.
      On the third day he arose from the dead.
      He ascended into heaven
      and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.
      From thence he shall come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
      the holy catholic church,
      the communion of saints,
      the forgiveness of sins,
      the resurrection of the body,
      and the life everlasting. Amen.

Scripture Lesson
​Matthew 26:17-24

The Last Supper
17 On the first day of the Festival of Unleavened Bread, the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Where do you want us to make preparations for you to eat the Passover?”
18 He replied, “Go into the city to a certain man and tell him, ‘The Teacher says: My appointed time is near. I am going to celebrate the Passover with my disciples at your house.’” 19 So the disciples did as Jesus had directed them and prepared the Passover.
20 When evening came, Jesus was reclining at the table with the Twelve. 21 And while they were eating, he said, “Truly I tell you, one of you will betray me.”
22 They were very sad and began to say to him one after the other, “Surely you don’t mean me, Lord?”
23 Jesus replied, “The one who has dipped his hand into the bowl with me will betray me. 24 The Son of Man will go just as it is written about him. But woe to that man who betrays the Son of Man! It would be better for him if he had not been born.”
