What happens when I come in?

May I receive Holy Communion? 

​

• All baptized Christians are invited to receive both the bread and the wine at Holy Communion. Gluten-free wafers are available upon request. You may also come forward to receive a blessing from Reverend Susan; if so, please indicate your intention by crossing your arms if you do not wish to take the wine.
