The Dismissal

All persons baptized with water & the Spirit in the Name of the Trinity are invited to receive the Eucharist. Those who wish to receive only a blessing may cross their arms. It is perfectly acceptable to receive the Eucharist in only one kind (i.e. the Host), and then decline the chalice, crossing your arms.
