Option of Receiving Wine is Being Restored
Beginning this coming Sunday, March 6, we will offer the option of receiving wine by intinction. The process will be different from what we used to do, so please take note of the new process that has been approved by the diocese. For communion, all will be invited come forward in two lines. In the line on the left, a priest will be distributing real bread. In the line on the right, the priest will dip a wafer in the chalice of wine and the hold it up for the person to use two fingers to take and then consume. We will be trying this new process for several weeks and gather feedback.

Stay for a while this Lent: With the Covid numbers going down, we are delighted to announce a step in the return of programs during the Sundays of Lent. Beginning on March 6, we are inviting all ages in our church to stay for a while after the 10 o’clock service, so that we can rebuild our sense of community and begin hosting casual options for Christian education and fellowship. Children and their parents will be invited for crafts and activities downstairs. Adults can join in a small group conversation with the preacher of the day about their sermon. People are also invited to socialize in the back of the church or on the portico. Stay for as long as you like and leave when you are ready as you enjoy these educational and fellowship options.
