Communion at Saint Andrew's


We celebrate the Lord's Supper from the altar.


The Pastor places an individual wafer into the communicant's hand and the worship assistant offers a pre-filled single-use communion cup of wine.


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


After receiving communion kindly drop the recyclable communion cups into the bowl offered by the usher.


  • You may take either the bread, or the wine, or both elements
  • If you prefer a pre-packaged communion set, please let the ushers know when you come into worship
  • Those not communing are invited to receive a blessing
