SUMMER WORSHIP SCHEDULE
BEGINS SUNDAY, MAY 29

9:30 a.m. worship with Holy Communion

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.

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

After receiving communion we drop the disposable, recyclable communion cups into the bowl offered by the usher.

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

Loving God, your Advocate is welcome in this place and we ask that you fill our lives with inklings, ideas, nudges, and outright shoves into the directions you call us to participate as your people in the world. Open our eyes to areas where your love is needed. Help us love Jesus and our neighbors in the way you love us. Walk with us as we work together to show your peace to a troubled world. In your name we pray. Amen.
