COMMUNION is the first Sunday
of every month.
ALL are welcome at our table.
All faiths. All ages.

Our communion is done by intinction: Take a piece of bread from the loaf offered by the minister and dip it into the chalice filled with grape juice. If you need to be served in the pew, just let the usher know and a they will come to you. Remember: ALL are welcome to the table here. So, no matter what you believe or what religion you practice, feel free to share Communion if you are so moved!
