Welcome to Saint John’s

W e are blessed that you have joined us in our worship of Jesus Christ. At

Saint John’s we worship in the Anglican Tradition; fostering a place

where forgiveness, conversion and spiritual renewal can evolve; enabling

Christian formation to help us grow that our life may be consecrated to God’s

work. We pray that you have found us faithful in our witness of His Love and

you will make Saint John’s your spiritual home.

Receiving Holy Communion

All visitors who have been baptized with water, in the name of the Father, Son,

and Holy Spirit, and who have been admitted to Communion in their own

church are welcome to share the Holy Eucharist. We are all called to repent of

our sins and to approach the Holy Communion as an expression of the Real

Presence of Jesus Christ. When you come forward to receive the Holy Body

and the Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ please approach the Altar Rail

in prayer. Cross your right hand over your left that the sacred Host may be laid

in the palm of your right hand. When the Chalice is offered help guide it (if

necessary) to your lips. When your communion is complete, pause to give

thanks before returning to your seat. If you are not receiving Communion

today, you are most welcome to come to the Altar Rail for a blessing; simply

cross your arms over your heart.

Ladies wearing lipstick, please remember to blot your lips before coming forward for

Communion if you desire to receive directly from the chalice. (If you generally receive

by intinction, of course, this is not necessary.) Thank you! — St. John’s Altar Guild

If you receive Holy Communion by Intinction

If you make your communion by intinction (which is dipping the Host in

Consecrated Wine), our Bishop asks that you retain the Host in the palm of

your hand after receiving it and the priest, deacon or lay minister will touch it

to the Wine and place it on your tongue.

A Private Prayer before receiving Holy Communion

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, by the will of the Father and the work

of the Holy Spirit Your death brought life to the world. By Your Holy Body

and Blood free me from all my sins and from every evil. Keep me faithful to

Your teaching, and never let me be parted from You. Amen.

A Private Prayer after receiving Holy Communion

Lord Jesus Christ, may I receive these precious gifts in purity of heart. May

Your Body and Blood bring me healing and strength, now and for ever. Amen.
