Receiving Communion

During any Service of Holy Communion the invitation is to all. Sharing of a Common Chalice was suspended during the Corona Virus Pandemic as our churches were closed for services. This is now over 4 years ago and at our last meeting of PCC a decision was made to resume sharing a Common Cup from Sunday 1st December.

People will be able to choose whether or not they wish to receive Holy Communion in the form of wine as well as bread. If you decide to take the chalice, please help the person administering by guiding the cup to your lips.

Just a reminder – we do not allow self intinction (dipping the bread into the wine); this potentially may contaminate the wine. Gluten-free bread is available. Please alert the steward on duty.

As always, if you prefer to receive a blessing instead of communion please bring you Service booklet with you to the Altar Rail to indicate your preference.
