Recurring Announcements
All Christians are welcome to Holy Communion.
To receive communion when you come forward, hold out your hands for the bread; help guide the chalice to your mouth by grasping the base. If you do not wish to receive communion but would like a blessing, please cross your arms across your chest; the same gesture for not receiving the chalice when it comes to you.
THE LAYING ON OF HANDS AND ANOINTING FOR HEALING: we offer this sacramental act to ask for God to bring healing to body, mind and spirit--and to relationships--each Sunday during communion. The station is where the lay persons are standing at the front left of the congregation, just beside the lectern.
Many people in the parish remain seated at the end of the service to listen to the Postlude or for last prayers.
If you wish to do this, please move forward to the front pews.
