VISITORS AND NEWCOMERS: We are delighted to have you
with us today, whether you are visiting, or if you are looking for a church
home. We are glad to share this house of the Lord with you.  


HOLY COMMUNION may be received by all baptized Christians (regardless of denomination), who have been baptized with water, and in the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. 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. Indicate your desire to receive a blessing by crossing your arms across your chest.
ALTAR FLOWERS ARE GIVEN TODAY to the greater glory of God, and in memory of Harold Perkins, by Mrs. Sheila Sahni.
