Communion Practice at Saint Andrew's

We celebrate the Lord's Supper from the altar.

The Pastor, wearing gloves, places an individual wafer into each communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers an individual, pre-filled disposable cup of wine to each communicant.

Communion is continuous; please follow the ushers' guidance on when to come forward.

After receiving communion please drop the disposable (and recyclable) communion cup into the bowl offered by the usher.

Please remember:
  • you may take either the bread, or the wine, or both elements
  • if you prefer to use a pre-packaged communion set, please let the ushers know when you come into worship
  • those not communing are invited to receive a blessing

Gracious and loving God, as your Son was revealed to Simon Peter and the others through a miraculous catch of fish, help us to see the many ways that you act in our lives and to praise you for the grace that you give to us day by day.  Empower us by your Spirit to follow Jesus, lead us to be living signs of your love, and give us the courage to invite others.  In Jesus’ name we pray.  Amen
