 Some Notes Regarding Receiving Communion:

Holy Communion in the Episcopal Church is open to all baptized persons, and we invite you to join us around the Lord’s Table to share in this “heavenly banquet.” We share a Common Cup as a sign that we are united with Christ and with one another as the Body of Christ. After receiving the wafer (Christ’s Body) in cupped hands, we take a sip of the wine (the Blood of Christ) from the chalice (the Common Cup).

If you wish to receive the bread only (which is “full communion”), simply cross your arms over your chest after you receive the wafer. If you do not wish to receive the Bread or the Wine, but wish a verbal blessing only by the priest, you are invited to come forward to the altar rail and cross your arms over your chest.
