An agape meal is sim ilar to Holy Communion\, but as it isn't considered a sacrament\, it is so mething we can celebrate ecumenically.\n\nYou can find the service outline below. As you can see there are a lot of prayers and instead of a sermon we're going to have a conversation about a short Bible text. If you'd like to read a Bible text or prayer let Vicar Silke know by emailing vicarfahl @martinluther.ca.\n\nIn preparation for the service you need some bread\, a cup of wine/grape juice for each person celebrating and\, if you’d lik e\, some dinner so we can eat together and chat after the service.\n\nYou can join the Zoom Meeting online with a computer\, laptop or smartphone wi th audio and visual capabilities.\nhttps://us04web.zoom.us/j/841280289  \ n\nYou can also join by phoning in with meeting ID: 841 280 289\nOne tap m obile\n+15873281099\,\,841280289# Canada\n+16473744685\,\,841280289# Canad a\n\nDial by your location\n+1 587 328 1099 Canada\n+1 647 374 4685 Canada \nFind your local number: https://us04web.zoom.us/u/fc2DyhuNZa\n\nIf you h ave any questions about Zoom\, please contact the church office.\n\n\n\n[P DF]   Online Agape Meal on Maundy Thursday – April 9\, 2020\nFrom St. Pauls\, New York\; translated &\; adjusted for Martin Luther Church\nIn formal start / Arrival phase\nGreeting and  Check in\n\nEnglish Worship Service\n\nLiturgical opening\nIn the name of the Father and the Son and t he Holy Spirit.\nAmen.\n\nGreeting\n\nOpening song: O Lord hear my prayer (ELW751)\n\n\nTo listen: https://youtu.be/f51n-yb11dY\n\nPrayer\nPsalm 116 \nI love the Lord\, because he has heard\nmy voice and my supplications.\n Because he inclined his ear to me\,\ntherefore I will call on him as long as I live.\nThe snares of death encompassed me\;\nthe pangs of Sheol laid hold on me\;\nI suffered distress and anguish.\nThen I called on the name of the Lord:\n“O Lord\, I pray\, save my life!”\nGracious is the Lord\ , and righteous\;\nour God is merciful.\nThe Lord protects the simple\;\nw hen I was brought low\, he saved me.\nReturn\, O my soul\, to your rest\,\ nfor the Lord has dealt bountifully with you.\nFor you have delivered my s oul from death\,\nmy eyes from tears\,\nmy feet from stumbling.\nI walk be fore the Lord\nin the land of the living.\nI kept my faith\, even when I s aid\,\n“I am greatly afflicted”\;\nI said in my consternation\,\n“Ev eryone is a liar.”\nWhat shall I return to the Lord\nfor all his bounty to me?\nI will lift up the cup of salvation\nand call on the name of the L ord\,\nI will pay my vows to the Lord\nin the presence of all his people.\ nPrecious in the sight of the Lord\nis the death of his faithful ones.\nO Lord\, I am your servant\;\nI am your servant\, the child of your serving girl.\nYou have loosed my bonds.\nI will offer to you a thanksgiving sacri fice\nand call on the name of the Lord.\nI will pay my vows to the Lord\ni n the presence of all his people\,\nin the courts of the house of the Lord \,\nin your midst\, O Jerusalem.\nHalleluja!\n\nReading (1 Corinthians 11: 23-26) and Reflection (Lectio Divina)\nLectio Divina is a medieval spiritu al practice. It is a four-step reading practice with the traditional steps being: Lectio\, Meditatio\, Oratio\, Contemplatio (reading\, meditating\, praying and contemplating).\nThe four steps we are going to do are: Narra tive\, Allegory\, Reflection and Invitation. The text is read four times a nd after each time there are different questions. There are no right or wr ong answers.\n\n\n23For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you\, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread\, 24and when he had given thanks\, he broke it and said\, “This i s my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” 25In 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.” 26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup\, you pro claim the Lord’s death until he comes.\n\n\nStep 1: Narrative\nWhat stuc k out to you when you heard the reading?\n\nStep 2: Allegory\nWhat metapho rs are hidden in the text?\nWhat symbols can we find in the words that are used?\n\n\n\nStep 3: Reflection\nHow does this text speak to you in your life today?\n\nStep 4: Invitation\nWhat actions are you going to take?\nWh at does the text call you to do?\n\n\n\nSong: Eat This Bread (ELW348)\nTo listen: https://youtu.be/xDqk-DMS4Mk\n\nThanksgiving over the bread\n\nTha nksgiving over the wine\n\nBlessings on the assembled\n\nPrayer of the peo ple\nEach prayer ends with: “Hear us\, O God.
