Stories from the four churches

♥

Today at St Ann'south the whole service has been centred around the theme of God's beloved. After the distribution of Communion, in that location is silent prayer, and then the whole congregation joins together in the Post Communion prayer:

Lord, we accept broken your bread,

and received your life.

By the power of your Spirit

go along us e'er in your love … (J35)

The first verse of 'We are marching in the light of God' is sung followed by the Blessing and Dismissal from the chancel step, and then the whole congregation leave singing the balance of the hymn.

♣

At St Bartholomew's today there has been a baptism, so the Baptism Post Communion prayer is used (page 362 in Mutual Worship), followed by the threefold Approving, 'The Father, whose glory fills the heavens, cleanse you past his holiness and send you to proclaim his word …' (J98). One of the churchwardens and then presents a lighted candle to the parents of the infant who has just been baptized. He uses the words on page 363 of Common Worship. The minister says the Dismissal, and leads the baptism party out first with the candle held high, equally a symbol of bearing the low-cal of Christ into the earth.

♦

At St Christopher's after the Post Communion prayers at that place is a recessional hymn during which the choir move to the back of the church. The president pronounces the Blessing from the sanctuary, and moves to the door as the Deacon says the Dismissal from the back of the church.

♠

The president at St Dodo's starts the shorter congregational Post Communion prayer and, while that is beingness said, fumbles with the ribbons in Common Worship to detect the Mail service Communion for the day. Unfortunately he turns to the page where the traditional form of the prayer is found, when the residuum of the service has been in modern English language. He goes straight into the Blessing, having just invited the congregation to kneel and given them insufficient time to do so. After the Dismissal he announces the terminal hymn. At the end of this, everybody kneels for the final vestry prayer which is amplified for the congregation to hear. Nobody moves, as they have been taught – wrongly – that the service is not over until that point, and that they should wait for the final 'liturgical ending'.

Ending services

The service should take a clear ending. This may be

*    a blessing;

*    a dismissal (with or without a preceding blessing);

*    some other liturgical catastrophe, including the Peace, the Grace or a suitable ascription or responsive decision.

This is set out in the concluding rubric and Notation nine to A Service of the Word. The Dismissal in Society Ane Holy Communion (Common Worship, page 183) provides for a approval (which is optional) and a responsive dismissal (which must exist used, though three options are given) after which 'The ministers and people depart'. One form of approval is provided on page 183, only the rubric says that the seasonal or another suitable blessing may be used, and more are provided on page 299 and 300–329. Those planning the service volition want to ensure that both the approval and any prayer immediately before it gather up what has been going on in the service and focus on God who now sends his people out into the world.

So any prayer near the end of the service should non be general intercession, but a brief combination of thanksgiving and petition for grace to go out and serve God. Many of the Post Communion prayers (pages 376–521) are too suitable for apply at the end of A Service of the Give-and-take besides, and more than are provided below, divided into these ii categories. Note 22 to Common Worship Holy Communion suggests that if two prayers are used after communion, the second should be a congregational ane. If just ane is used, it may be presidential or congregational, and may be 1 of those printed in the main text or 1 of those in the supplementary texts, some of which are included beneath. This may accept a seasonal or thematic flavour.

A dismissal, ending or blessing should exist the last item in any service, and should non usually be followed by a hymn or more prayers.

Notes to the resources

This department includes:

*    Closing prayers, suitable for use in a non-eucharistic Service of the Word;

*    Prayers suitable for employ at the end of a service of Holy Communion, either as Postal service Communion prayers, or as part of the sending out;

*    Blessings;

*    Acclamations for the stop of a service.

In general the congregational 'Amen', which concludes a prayer said past the leader, has not been printed here. It may demand to be added if a total congregational text is being produced.

Texts in bold are suitable for congregational use.

Closing prayers

These prayers are particularly suitable as closing prayers for a non-eucharistic service. Though they do non refer explicitly to the sacrament, some of them could also be used equally a Post Communion prayer, or as part of the Dismissal in a service of Holy Communion. The prayers printed in bold type are suitable for the whole congregation to join in.
