THE 5TH SUNDAY IN LENT
COMMUNION SUNDAY
3 April 2022
Welcome! We extend a warm welcome to our guests, and invite you to sign the guest book at the back of the sanctuary. Unfortunately, however, we are not yet able to resume our after-service fellowship time in the Church Hall.
Communion – Today’s service is a Communion service. Due to pandemic-related precautions, we are continuing to do things a bit differently than usual, as follows:
– The texts that we normally read from the hymnbook (the Apostles’ Creed, etc.) will be shown on the screen.
– The Communion table will remain in the chancel, for the sake of physical distancing.
– Rather than passing the bread and juice through the sanctuary, you will be invited to come forward to receive the bread and juice, which are set out on another table at the front.
– Please come forward by the center aisle, and return to your seat by the side aisles. Please come forward separately (or along with those in your own household), in order to maintain physical distancing. Please take the bread and juice set out at either end of the table (left or right), working your way toward the center.
– The bread and juice may be either consumed at the front, or taken back to your seat. We will not wait for everyone to consume the bread and juice simultaneously, as we would normally do. As usual, the bread is gluten-free.
– Anyone who doesn’t feel comfortable receiving Communion today should feel free not to partake.
