Celebrant in orans position adds a final Collect from BCP pp. 394-395 or elsewhere. If the Confession is used in Form VI, all kneel and Celebrant substitutes an Absolution for the Collect. All stand after the Absolution. If Comfortable Words are used, they are read by Celebrant or Deacon or Assisting Priest facing the people, and for variety their use may be restricted to Advent and Lent.
Celebrant comes to the center and towards people for the greeting, extending then joining hands.
Individual greetings may follow, but not for too long. Necessary announcements may also be made here. Other locations for the Peace are suggested in BCP p. 407. Representatives of congregation bring bread and wine, and money or other gifts. When all is ready Celebrant offers the gifts, raising them slightly and placing them upon the corporal.
