We are now sharing the common cup during Communion. If communicants do not wish to receive in both kinds, they may do so by receiving only the bread (communion in one kind) or the president may dip the bread in the wine before giving it to the communicant (simultaneous administration). Intinction by the communicant is not recommended.

The president or other minister may choose to wear a mask when in close proximity to members of the congregation / communicants.

• a new continuous cough
• a high temperature
• a loss of, or change in, your normal sense of taste or smell (anosmia)
