  2. Liturgy • Liturgy - “The work of the people” • Term used to describe Christian worship services

  3. Liturgy • In most traditions the liturgy consists of four parts: • Gathering • Hearing God’s Word • Responding To God’s Word • Sending Forth

  4. Liturgical Elements • Call to Worship • This is often a specific set of scriptures or other confessional statements to begin worship

  5. Liturgical Elements • Collect • A prayer in five parts that precedes the lessons appointed and that is specific to a certain day, theme, or church season • The Parts of a Collect • Address to God • An Attribute of God • Petition • Result of Petition • Doxology or Conclusion

  6. Liturgical Elements • Eucharist - a.k.a. Communion, The Lord’s Supper, etc. • Includes taking, blessing, and sharing the bread and wine in a gathered community. • The liturgy commonly used here is The Great Thanksgiving found on page 13 of The United Methodist Hymnal

  7. Liturgical Elements • Fraction • The act of breaking bread for communion • Intinction • The act of dipping the bread into the wine or juice.

  8. Liturgical Elements • Gloria • Short for Gloria in Excelsis, borrowed from Luke 2:14, “Glory to God in the highest” • Kyrie • Another Latin phrase/canticle. This time, typically sung phrase Kyrie eleison, which means “Lord have mercy.”

  9. Liturgical Elements • Sanctus • Another Latin phrase, but we almost always sing or say in the Communion prayer as “Holy, holy, holy Lord.

  12. Sacred Objects • Linens: • Four types: • Fair Linens • The linen used to cover the table • Purificator • A small linen used to hold the bread and the cup • Palls • Used to cover the chalice and flagon • Corporal • Used to keep crumbs and wine off of the fair linen

  13. Sacred Objects • Paschal Candle - a.k.a. The Christ Candle • Pillow • The gold book stand used to prop up the book of worship during Communion

  14. Sacred Objects • Vessels • Used to hold the elements for Communion • Paten - used to hold the bread • Chalice - used to hold the wine or Welch’s • Flagon - pitcher used to hold the wine • Foot Washing Vessels • Basin • Pitcher

  15. Sacred Objects • Vestments • These are what the presider and other worship leaders wear. • Albs • Cinctures • Stoles • Scapular
