Communion at Saint Andrew's


We celebrate the Lord's Supper from the altar.


The Pastor places an individual wafer into the communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers a pre-filled single-use communion cup of wine or grape juice. Gluten free wafers are available upon request.


Please follow the ushers' guidance on when to come forward.


After receiving communion kindly drop the recyclable communion cups into the bowl offered by the usher.


  • It is the Lutheran tradition to commune using both elements, however, we believe Christ is fully present when receiving one kind (bread or wine/grape juice)
  • If you prefer a pre-packaged communion set, please let the ushers know when you come into worship. Communion sets with gluten free wafers are available upon request
  • Those not communing and children are invited forward to receive a blessing and may cross their arms to indicate their intentions.


IF YOU ARE WORSHIPPING ONLINE AND WOULD LIKE COMMUNION, PLEASE CALL THE CHURCH OFFICE AND PASTOR WILL BRING COMMUNION TO YOU. (631-265-2288)
