We invite those watching live to share in the sacrament of Communion. Some advance preparation is needed.

Before the time of the service you will want to prepare some bread, a slice or a small loaf of any kind of bread. In some parts of the world tortilla, rice cake, or cassava are used as this element which is defined not as a wheat product but as the most common food of the people. Let it be something you alone or you with others in your house may break and share. (In a pinch, even a cracker will do.)

Prepare a cup or cups of juice –  perhaps grape – or even cranberry, or wine, with or without alcohol; one for each person who will be partaking in the sacrament.

Set these elements in the living room or kitchen where you will worship electronically with our faith community. Perhaps you want to put them on a lovely cloth or fabric that reminds you of a special time or a person deeply connected with you in the communion of saints.

Perhaps you will light a candle or place a flower or plant or a photograph of someone you wish to bring into the circle of faith beside the bread and the cup. Thank you for your preparation.

We look forward to celebrating together!
