PRAYER FOR THE SEASON OF LENT:
Collect
Almighty and everlasting God, who hatest nothing that thou
hast made and dost forgive the sins of all those who are
penitent: Create and make in us new and contrite hearts, that
we, worthily lamenting our sins and acknowledging our
wretchedness, may obtain of thee, the God of all mercy,
perfect remission and forgiveness; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

THE COMMUNION

OMMUNION HYMN                  Just As I Am

1. Just as I am, without one plea,                    4.. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
But that Thy blood was shed for me                Sight, riches, healing of the mind,
And that Thou bidst me come to Thee,          Yea, all I need in Thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.                     O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

2. Just as I am, and waiting not                         5.  Just as I am, Thou wilt receive,
 To rid my soul of one dark blot,                     Wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;
 To Thee whose blood can cleanse each spot,      Because Thy promise I believe,
 O Lamb of God, I come, I come                       O Lamb of God, I come, I come.


3. Just as I am, though tossed about                6. Just as I am, Thy love unknown
With many a conflict, many a doubt,                 Hath broken every barrier down;
Fightings and fears within, without,                  Now, to be Thine, yea, Thine alone
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.                      O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

    Walking in His footsteps till the crown is won.

Refrain: Follow! follow! I would follow Jesus!       3. Down in the valley, or upon the mountain steep,
   Anywhere, everywhere, I would follow on!                Close beside my Savior would my soul ever keep;
   Follow! follow! I would follow Jesus!                      
He will lead me safely in the path that He has trod,
   Everywhere He leads me I would follow on!          
Up to where they gather on the hills of God.


2. Down in the valley with my Savior I would go,
   Where the storms are sweeping and the dark waters flow;
   With His hand to lead me I will never, never fear,
   Danger cannot fright me if my Lord is near.

Priest:      Let us go forth in peace to love and serve the Lord!
 All:          Thanks be to God!

INVITATION to the OBSERVANCE of LENT
After the Sermon, all stand, the Celebrant invites the people to the observance of a holy Lent, saying:

Dear People of God: The first Christians observed with great devotion the days of our Lord's passion and resurrection, and it became the custom of the Church to prepare for them by a season of penitence and fasting. This is season of Lent provided a time in which converts to the faith were prepared for Holy Baptism. It was also a time when those who, because of notorious sins, had been separated from the body of the faithful were reconciled by penitence and forgiveness, and restored to the fellowship of the Church. Thereby, the whole congregation was put in mind of the message of pardon and absolution set forth in the Gospel of our Savior, and of the need which all Christians continually have to renew their repentance and faith.
I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent, by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word. And, to make a right beginning of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, let us now kneel before the Lord, our maker and redeemer.
Silence is then kept for a time, all kneeling.
If ashes are to be imposed, the Celebrant says the following prayer
Almighty God, you have created us out of the dust of the earth: Grant that these ashes may         be to us a sign of our mortality and penitence, that we may remember that it is only by your
 gracious gift  that we are given everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen.

The ashes are imposed with the following words
Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return.


Litany of Penitence
The Celebrant and People together, all kneeling

Most holy and merciful Father: We confess to you and to one another, and to the whole   communion of saints in heaven and on earth, that we have sinned by our own fault in thought, word, and deed; by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.
The Celebrant continues
We have not loved you with our whole heart, and mind, and strength. We have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We have not forgiven others, as we have been forgiven.
Have mercy on us, Lord.
We have been deaf to your call to serve, as Christ served us. We have not been true to the mind of Christ. We have grieved your Holy Spirit.
Have mercy on us, Lord.
We confess to you, Lord, all our past unfaithfulness: the pride, hypocrisy, and impatience of our lives,
We confess to you, Lord.
Our self-indulgent appetites and ways, and our exploitation of other people,
We confess to you, Lord.
 Our anger at our own frustration, and our envy of those more fortunate than ourselves,
We confess to you, Lord.
Our intemperate love of worldly goods and comforts, and our dishonesty in daily life and work,
We confess to you, Lord.
Our negligence in prayer and worship, and our failure to commend the faith that is in us,
We confess to you, Lord.
Accept our repentance, Lord, for the wrongs we have done: for our blindness to human
need and suffering, and our indifference to injustice and cruelty,
Accept our repentance, Lord.
For all false judgments, for uncharitable thoughts toward our neighbors, and for our
prejudice and contempt toward those who differ from us,
Accept our repentance, Lord.
For our waste and pollution of your creation, and our lack of concern for those who come after us,
Accept our repentance, Lord.
Restore us, good Lord, and let your anger depart from us;
Favorably hear us, for your mercy is great.
Accomplish in us the work of your salvation,
That we may show forth your glory in the world.
By the cross and passion of your Son our Lord,
Bring us with all your saints to the joy of his resurrection.

The Bishop, if present, or the Priest, stands and, facing the people, says
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desires not the death of sinners,
but rather that they may turn from their wickedness and live, has given power and commandment to his ministers to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins. He pardons and absolves all those who truly repent, and with
sincere hearts believe his holy Gospel. Therefore we beseech him to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that those things may please him which we do on this day, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy, so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE PEACE  is then exchanged.  Serrvice continues with the Offertory.

OFFERTORY: Hymns A&M 189—Jesu, the very thought of Thee

ORDER OF HOLY COMMUNION
The people remain standing. The Celebrant,  faces them and sings or says
The Lord be with you.
People  And also with you.
Celebrant : Lift up your hearts.
People We lift them to the Lord.
Celebrant : Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.
People It is right to give him thanks and praise.

It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and every-where to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth. Through Jesus Christ our Lord; who was tempted in every way as we are, you did not sin. By his grace we are able to triumph over every evil, and
 to live no longer for ourselves alone, but for him who died for us and rose again. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever  sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

Celebrant and People
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Then the Celebrant continues
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole  world.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me."
After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me."
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: 
Celebrant and People
Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.
The Celebrant continues
We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.
All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN.

As our Savior Christ has taught us,  we now pray,
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name,  your kingdom come, your will be done,
on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those
who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial, and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours, now and for ever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread
Facing the people, the Celebrant says the following Invitation
The Gifts of God for the People of God. Take them in remembrance that Christ died for
you, and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

The ministers receive the Sacrament in both kinds, and then deliver it to the people.
THE COMMUNION IS TAKEN IN SILENCE
Post Communion Prayer: In place of the usual Post Communion Prayer, the following is said
Almighty God you have given your only Son to be for us both a sacrifice for sin and also an example of godly life: give us grace that we may always most thankfully receive these his inestimable gifts, and also daily endeavor ourselves to follow the blessed steps of his most holy life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
