All Hallows Evening Prayer is a service of worship in the evening for all pilgrims on the journey to the heavenly city.
On the night that he was betrayed, Jesus instituted the Lord’s Supper. The Lord’s Supper is a symbolic meal in which we not only commemorate his death and suffering for the sins of the world upon the cross but in which we also encounter the living, risen Lord. We are united to Jesus and each other by the Holy Spirit. Wherever we gather, Jesus, by the power of the Holy Spirit is with us. His presence is a real presence, not an imagined one.
The dismissal song is Omer Westendorf’s communion hymn, “Gift of Finest Wheat. The hymn’s beautiful setting BICENTENNIAL was composed by Robert E. Kreutz. Originally published in 1977, “Gift of Finest Wheat” now appears in a number of Anglican, Catholic, Congregationalist, Episcopalian, Lutheran, Methodist, Moravian, and Presbyterian hymnals. John Ferguson’s arrangement of the hymn for SATB voices, assembly, and organ is available from GIA Publications.
The Scripture reading for this Wednesday evening is 1 Corinthians 11: 23-26 The Institution of the Lord’s Supper.
The homily is titled “On the Night That He Was Betrayed.”
