Thank you for joining us for worship today. We are glad you are with us. Communion will be served in your pews or in the aisle. All are welcome to share at this meal. Jesus is our host and invites everyone.. As you entered worship you could have received your communion element, at that part of the service, you are invited to take the bread and wine (or grape juice) when Pr. Chrissy leads. Those who would like to come forward, bread and wine will also be available in the front. When directed by the usher, come forward down the center aisle, Pr Chrissy will give you bread (she will be masked and wearing cloves) and then you will take a cup of wine (grape juice) from the tray. After taking communion you will return to your seat by the side aisle. To reduce passing, offering is collected as you enter or leave worship.
