  Exchange the Peace

*Either here or elsewhere in the service, all greet one another in the 
name of the Lord.*

  Prepare the Table

*Some of those present prepare the table; the bread, the cup of wine, 
and other offerings, are placed upon it.*

  Make Eucharist

*The Great Thanksgiving is said by the Priest in the name of the 
gathering, using one of the eucharistic prayers provided.*

*The people respond--Amen!*

  Break the Bread

  Share the Gifts of God

*The Body and Blood of the Lord are shared in a reverent manner; after
all have received, any of the Sacrament that remains is then consumed.*

*When a common meal or Agape is a part of the celebration, it follows 
here.*


At the Great Thanksgiving

*In making Eucharist, the Celebrant uses one of the Eucharistic Prayers 
from Rite One or Rite Two, or one of the following forms*


Form 1

*Celebrant*  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.


*The Celebrant gives thanks to God the Father for his work in creation 
and his revelation of himself to his people;*

*Recalls before God, when appropriate, the particular occasion being 
celebrated;*

*Incorporates or adapts the Proper Preface of the Day, if desired.*

[[*If the Sanctus is to be included, it is introduced with these or  
similar words*

And so we join the saints and angels in proclaiming your glory, as  we 
sing (say),

*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.
