You will need to prepare elements to use before worship begins. Communion modeled after Jesus’ meal includes bread and wine or grape juice. If you don’t have bread or grape juice or wine please select something that is close, for instance a cracker or a tortilla, apple juice or water. We have several communion services in the next week or two. Shop ahead if you can for bread and grape juice or wine. You may want to bake your own bread for this sacrament. When the time comes in the service, after scripture is read, the Word is proclaimed, the Great Prayer of Thanksgiving is lifted up, and the communion Words of Institution are said, you will be invited to eat some bread and drink from your cup. These worship pieces all together, as provided by the church, by the work of the Holy Spirit, are a gift of grace for us during this time of crisis. If for any reason, you do not wish to partake of communion in this way, that is okay also. God’s grace is showered on us in other ways, too
