Communion at Saint Andrew's

We celebrate the Lord's Supper from the altar.

The Pastor places an individual wafer into each communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers a pre-filled single-use communion cup of wine.

Communion is continuous; please follow the ushers' guidance on when to come forward.

After receiving communion please drop the disposable, recyclable communion cup into the bowl offered by the usher.

Please remember:

you may take either the bread, or the wine, or both elements
if you prefer to use a pre-packaged communion set, please let the ushers know when you come into worship
those not communing are invited to receive a blessing

Christ's descent from the cross and resurrection; Crucifixion (1974)

Marc Chagall, Cathedrale Notre-Dame de Reims, Reims, France

Merciful God, it was upon a tree that you were hung and left to die. We confess our complicity in that horrible mistreatment of your truth and your promise. Deepen our awareness of the endless ways in which your resurrection sets us free and sets us on a new path. Amen.
