Online Giving Option
We learn in the Scriptures that giving is an act of worship to God. That is
why we include an offering in the liturgy each week. We also know that in
an era when we don’t use checks or cash very often, remembering to
bring it to church with you can be difficult. In order to assist your desire
to faithfully support Manhattan Pres the Elders have set up an online
giving option. You can give via check or card; one time or a reoccurring
gift. As always, all gifts are tax deductible under our 501(c)(3) status.
To give online, scan the circle or go to

We will always have time of offering

14GOD COMMUNES WITH US
The Lord’s Supper
Communion is a sign and seal for those who believe in Jesus Christ alone for the
forgiveness of sin. It's not for good people. It's for you if you believe and embrace
that you are worse and more messed up than you ever dare to admit; and yet you
are more loved and accepted by our Savior than you had ever dared to hope -
this is because of the life, the death and the resurrection of Jesus for you.
You will be invited to come forward. We serve wine, but also offer grape juice
(cups on the outside ring) for those who prefer for reasons of personal
conviction. We offer a gluten free bread option for communion for those whose
diets necessitate it. Please let us know in advance if you need this option and we
can accommodate you.
Children are welcome to come with their parents. Each child should talk with the
elders about his or her belief in Christ before taking the Lord's Supper. Please
contact us to do that at a future date.
If you are not taking the Lord's Supper with us today, we don't want this to be an
awkward time. You can come forward and an elder will pray with you or you may
stay seated and pray one of the prayers provided on the next page. We're glad
you're here today.
Words of Institution
Pastor: Let us proclaim the mystery of faith:
People: Christ has died.
Christ is risen.
Christ will come again.
Pastor: Christ, our Passover, has been sacrificed for us.
People: Therefore, let us keep the feast.
Pastor: The gifts of God are for the people of God. Come eat and drink with
thanksgiving.
Prayer of Thanksgiving
15GOD COMMUNES WITH US
The prayers below are provided as guides for your
silent, individual prayer during the Lord’s Supper
PRAYER FOR THOSE SEARCHING FOR THE TRUTH
Lord Jesus, you claim to be the Way, the Truth, and the Life. Grant that I
might be undaunted by the cost of following you as I consider the reasons for
doing so. If what you claim is true, please guide me, teach me, and open me
to the reality of who you are. Give me an understanding of you that is
coherent and convincing, and that leads to the life you promise. Amen.
PRAYER OF FAITH
Lord Jesus Christ, I admit that I am weaker and more sinful than I ever dared
admit, but through you I am more loved and accepted than I ever dared hope.
I thank you for paying my debt on the cross, taking what I deserved in order
to offer me complete forgiveness. Knowing that you have been raised from
the dead, I turn from my sins and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Amen.
PRAYER OF COMMITMENT
Lord Jesus, you have called us to follow you in a life of committed
discipleship in your church. Grant that I may take the necessary steps to be
one with your people, and live in the fullness of your Spirit. Amen.
PRAYER OF HUMBLE ACCESS
I do not presume to come to this your table, O merciful Lord, trusting in my
own goodness, but only in your righteousness credited to me. I am not
worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the
same Lord whose manner is always to show mercy. Grant me, therefore, O
Lord, the grace to commune now with Christ by faith, that I may evermore
live in him and he in me. Amen.
