At the time the Sacrament is offered, you may come forward to the altar rail. (If unable to come to the rail, the elements will be brought to you.) You may either kneel at the rail, or stand. Both the host (bread) and the wine, or just the host only, may be received. The host may be dipped into the chalice of wine, if you prefer. Or, you may receive a blessing from the Celebrant.
