To him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and for ever. Amen.

A Note About Communion All are welcome at the Lord’s Table. Baptized Christians, regardless of denomination or age, are invited to receive Holy Communion. If you prefer to receive a blessing, simply cross your arms over your chest. If accessing the altar platform is difficult for you, you may receive communion on the floor level by going around through the side gate and standing at the side of the altar platform. Gluten free wafers are available. Please ask the member of the clergy who is distributing communion to you.
