Texts are Matthew 26:26-30; or Mark 14: 22-26; or Luke 22:19, 20; or 1 Corinthians 11:23-29.
For our practice of footwashing at this service see John 13:1-17.

More information on our practice can be found in chapter 7 of the Seventh-day Adventist church manual which can be downloaded from http://www.adventist.org/beliefs/church_manual/Seventh-day-Adventist-Church-Manual-17th-edition.pdf

I thank you a lot!

The texts you indicated are used in most christian churches for the Communion.
Im interested to the words said before or later, like invocation to the Holy Spirit, Thankgivin or the Holy.

Or better to a video of the Communion

Thanks

If you are looking for specific words that the minister is directed to say during the communion service, you won't find it. We do not have liturgical services. The Church Manual does give some guidelines for how to conduct the communion service, however (which can be done by a pastor or an ordained elder of the church). The PDF linked to above is rather lengthy, but you will find the sections dealing with communion on pages 81-86 and 96-98. Here is a portion from pages 97-98 of the Church Manual regarding the bread and the wine:

4. Bread and Wine—(See p. 84.)—A hymn may be sung during the reassembly of the congregation as the officiating ministers or elders take their places at the table on which the bread and wine have been placed, and the deacons and deaconesses take their places. The covering over the bread is removed. A suitable passage of Scripture may be read, such as 1 Corinthians 11:23, 24; Matthew 26:26; Mark 14:22; or Luke 22:19; or a brief sermon may be given at this point in the service rather than earlier. This can be especially effective if the sermon emphasizes the meaning of the bread and wine so its message is still fresh in the minds of participants as the emblems are being distributed. Those officiating normally kneel while the blessing is asked on the bread. The congregation may kneel or remain seated. Most of the bread to be served is usually broken ahead of time, with a small portion left on each plate for the elders and/or ministers to break. The minister and elders hand the plates containing the bread to the deacons, then the deacons serve the congregation. During this time there may be a choice of special music, testimonies, a summary of the sermon, selected readings, congregational singing, or meditative music.

Each person should retain his/her portion of the bread until the officiating minister or elder has been served. When everyone has been seated, the leader invites all to partake of the bread together. Silent prayers are offered as the bread is eaten.

The minister then reads a suitable passage, such as 1 Corinthians 11:25, 26; Matthew 26:27-29; Mark 14:23-25; or Luke 22:20. Leaders kneel as the prayer is given over the wine. Again, deacons serve the congregation. Activities such as those suggested during the passing of the bread may be continued at this time. After the officiating ministers or elders have been served, all worshipers partake of the wine together.

An optional method is for the bread to be blessed and broken; then the bread and wine are placed on the same tray and passed to the congregation. The worshiper takes both from the tray at the same time. The bread is eaten, followed by silent prayer. Then after prayer over the wine, it is taken, followed by silent prayer. Where pews or seats are equipped with racks to hold the wine glasses, the collection of glasses is unnecessary until after the service.

I don't know if there are any videos of an Adventist communion service to direct you to, but I will look into it when I have time.
