Celebrate Communion this Sunday during our 9:30 AM service shared on YouTube. Join Avondalers and Christians around the world. Rev. Jim will invite you to partake, so we’ll be communing together. Have some bread and juice ready. Don’t worry about whether you have the “right” bread or juice, as long as you prepare your heart to participate.
