The Sacrament of Communion in the Sanctuary

Communion is served in the Sanctuary on the first Sunday of each month, and during the Maundy Thursday evening and Saturday evening Easter Vigil services. It is served either by intinction, where the congregation comes forward to be served, or by passing the elements to the congregation in the pews. Elders are assigned to a Communion team, and each team is responsible for preparing the elements and serving Communion 6 or 7 times a year.

Each Communion Sunday two team captains prepare elements, prepare the Communion table, organize team positions, and work with the pastors on any last-minute instructions. Captains also remind team members by phone/email and convene elders thirty minutes before the service in the Ganson Room. Team captains supervise clean-up and storage after the service ends.

The method of serving, communion teams, and team captains for each Sunday are noted in the schedules below.
