Do you know someone who has trouble believing the resurrection of Jesus? Even among the
disciples of Jesus, Thomas was one who had difficulty believing in the resurrection. It took a great
Grace Lutheran Church
deal of influence—the influence of Jesus Himself—to convince Thomas of the truth of the
resurrection! Jesus said to him, “Have you believed because you have seen Me? Blessed are those
P. O. Box 250769, Little Rock, AR 72225
who have not seen and yet have believed.” (John 20:29) Though we do not have the privilege of
seeing Jesus in person as Thomas did, we do have the privilege of seeing Jesus in the Word. We have www.gracelutheranlr.org
the privilege of being touched by Jesus in Holy Baptism. And we also have the privilege of receiving Telephone Number: 501-663-3631

Proper Preface
P It is truly good, right, and salutary that we should at all times and in all places give
thanks to You, holy Lord, almighty Father, everlasting God. And most especially are we
bound to praise You on this day for the glorious resurrection of Your Son, Jesus Christ,
the very Paschal Lamb, who was sacrificed for us and bore the sins of the world. By His
The Words of Our Lord
dying He has destroyed death, and by His rising again He has restored to us everlasting
life. Therefore with Mary Magdalene, Peter and John, and with all the witnesses of the
resurrection, with angels and archangels, and with all the company of heaven we laud
and magnify Your glorious name, evermore praising You and saying:
Sanctus Isaiah 6:3; Matthew 21:9
in His kingdom, which has no end. Graciously receive our prayers; deliver and preserve
us. To You alone, O Father, be all glory, honor, and worship, with the Son and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.
C Amen
Matthew 26:26–28; Mark 14:22–24;
Luke 22:19-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23–25
P Our Lord Jesus Christ, on the night when He was betrayed, took bread, and when He had
given thanks, He broke it and gave it to the disciples and said: “Take, eat; this is My T
body, which is given for you. This do in remembrance of Me.”
In the same way also He took the cup after supper, and when He had given thanks, He
gave it to them, saying: “Drink of it, all of you; this cup is the new testament in My T
blood, which is shed for you for the forgiveness of sins. This do, as often as you drink it,
in remembrance of Me.”

Proclamation of Christ 1 Corinthians 11:26; Revelation 22:20

P As often as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the Lord’s death until He
comes.
C Amen. Come, Lord Jesus.
P O Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, in giving us Your body and blood to eat and
to drink, You lead us to remember and confess Your holy cross and passion, Your
blessed death, Your rest in the tomb, Your resurrection from the dead, Your ascension
into heaven, and Your coming for the final judgment. So remember us in Your kingdom
and teach us to pray:

Distribution
Communion instructions: The Pastor invites the communicants, those who are able, to kneel
and then distributes the host which may be received into the hand or the mouth. The Elder
distributes the individual cups. The communicants are asked to hold their cups until the Pastor
says, “Take and drink.”
Gracious God, our heavenly Father, You have given us a foretaste of the feast to come in
the Holy Supper of Your Son's body and blood. Keep us firm in the true faith throughout
our days of pilgrimage that, on the day of His coming, we may, together with all Your
saints, celebrate the marriage feast of the Lamb in His kingdom which has no end;
through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and forever.
