Missing Communion?
The December 6 Zoom Eucharist service will include Communion for all who want to participate!
As you read in last week's Trinity Tidings, Trinity Church will offer Communion under Special Circumstances for our parish. Communion in this form, as recommended by the Bishop's Office of the Northern California Episcopal Diocese, is a way for you and your household to participate actively in the Holy Eucharist from the safety of your home by using a Communion Kit which includes a consecrated host. It also includes a booklet with prayers and instructions on how to participate in Holy Eucharist for parishioners who cannot access the Zoom service of Holy Eucharist at Trinity Church, but who wish to participate in Communion.
How to Participate
A consecrated host from a Communion Kit can be shared by your household in a service of Holy Eucharist in a number of ways:
1) The recommended participation is during our Zoom Eucharist Service at Trinity Church on the first Sundays of each month with Fr. Paul presiding. Schedule may differ during Advent.
2) If you are alone, you can read aloud in your home from Communion under Special Circumstances booklet, adapted from the Book of Common Prayer.
3) If you are with others, you can read aloud from Communion under Special Circumstances booklet with family or parish friends in your home (observing COVID guidelines), or over the phone with those who would like to participate with you.
How to Obtain a Communion Kit
Kit hand-out will be set up for drive-thru delivery. You do not have to get out of your car. Generally, on the Saturday before the first Sunday of each month you can go to one of two locations to pick up a Communion Kit.
