When Do We Worship?
-
EUCHARIST 10:00 AM
Our Sunday morning Eucharist is warm and friendly in a classically Anglican style.
SCRIPTURE
We listen to four readings from the Christian Scriptures, followed by a 15-20 minute explanation of the Christian Faith.
PATTERNED PRAYER
Most of the structure and prayers of the worship service is set. The congregation prays many prayers aloud together. The structure & prayers are laid out in either a green or red prayer book on your chair.
CONGREGATIONAL SONG
The congregation sings 5 or 6 hymns throughout the service from a blue hymn book, accompanied by an organ or piano.
COMMUNION
Christians eat bread and drink wine in the celebration of the Lord’s Supper.
Who Can Have Communion?
All Christians baptised with water in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are welcome to receive Communion.
How Do We Receive Communion?
You are invited to walk through your row to the centre aisle. Then, walk to the front to receive the bread and wine.
Please note that wine is offered in two chalices in line with our policy of using a ‘common cup.’
What About Dietary Accommodations?
You may ask for a gluten-free wafer when it is your turn to receive communion.
You are also permitted to receive only the bread or only the wine. If, for example, you are not receiving wine, cross your arms in the shape of an ‘x’ across your chest whenever you approach the person with the wine.
In the case of not receiving wine, you may touch the base of the chalice in a moment of contemplation.
What If I Don’t Receive Communion?
If you do not receive the bread and wine, you are still invited to walk to the front. Cross your arms in the shape of an ‘x’ across your chest to indicate that you would prefer to receive a blessing.
