You will also receive a bulletin telling you which page we will be on and if we are using a song from the blue book we will list (WOV) next to the page number.

Communion can sometimes seem complicated when you worship at a new place! Here at St. Paul's, the ushers will signal each row to come forward and approach the altar rail. As you approach the rail another usher will hold a tray where you are to take an empty glass. If for some reason you are unable to take wine please feel free to either dip your wafer in the wine or not take the wine during communion. At the altar rail feel free to either kneel or stand to receive the bread and wine. Those not prepared for communion may come for a blessing. We offer children in 2nd grade and above the choice to receive first communion class when their parents feel they are ready. If your child has already received first communion instruction elsewhere they are welcome to receive communion at St. Paul's. The pastor will place a waffer in your outstreatched hands saying, "the body of Christ given for you." A Communion assistant will then follow and pour wine from a chalice into your empty glass. If you are unable to drink that amount of wine you may dip your wafer into the chalice as the assistant says "the blood of Christ shed for you." The Pastor will dismiss those at the rail by saying, "The body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ which you have now received strengthen and keep you in his grace." Please place your used glass in the tray that the usher will be holding as you return to your seat.
