Communion


 


Communion at PeaceEast is served by the presiding pastor and lay worship assistants. As you come to the rain at the chancel, you may kneel, if able. Holding out your cupped hands, you receive a wafer or piece of bread. For the cup, you may choose red wine from the outer rings of cups, or white grape juice from the inner rings. Stay as long as you wish at the rail, and return to your pew in your own time. If you would like to receive prayer, the pastor is available to join you as soon as you have completed your time at the rail. Meet the pastor at the side of the Sanctuary where you can have a private time of prayer. Those not communing are still invited to come forward for a blessing. PeaceEast communion is served on the first and third weekends of the month.

Communion at PeaceWest is served by the presiding pastor and lay worship assistants. As you come toward the assistants, you will receive a wafer or piece of bread. Hold it as you approach the red wind and white grape juice, and dip it in the chalice of your choice. Then eat it as you proceed back to your seat. If you would like to receive prayer, the pastor is available to join you at the side of the Gathering space where you can have some moments of privacy and prayer. Those not communing are still invited to come forward for a blessing. PeaceWest communion is served on second and fourth weekends of the month.

On the fifth weekend of the month, no communion is served.
