the table near the door of the church, and hand it to one of the welcomers. Communicant members of all Churches are
welcome to receive Holy Communion. If
you are not receiving Communion please come to the altar rail for a blessing
and carry a book so the minister knows.

to this broken world, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. AMEN
