Before the readings

First reading

Second reading:

1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord what I also handed to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, "This is my Body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me."  

In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my Blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." 

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. 

The word of the Lord.

Ben was poised, could be clearly heard throughout the church.
He did a great job!
