Holy Communion
Holy Communion is God present in, with, and under the elements of bread and wine. Holy Communion is the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ given with the elements of bread and wine, instituted by Christ himself for us to eat and drink. Through Holy Communion we receive Christ’s body and blood and God’s gifts of forgiveness of sin, life, and salvation.

A gluten free wafer is also available for those who prefer that option.The second server will offer wine from a tray of small glasses (White grape juice is also available in the center of the tray for children or those who do not want wine). The third server will collect your empty glass. Once you are finished you may return to your seat.
If you are not able to come to the front of the sanctuary for Communion, the ushers will direct a server to serve you in your seat after the congregation has been served.
