How To be a Communion Assistant:



  1. Tell Pastor you are here when you arrive.  Please arrive by 8:50.  You don't have to dress formally, but do wear something more dignified than ratty jeans and a t-shirt.
  2. When offering is brought forward, you will come forward and stand over whre Pastor usually sits, near the organ.
  3. When pastor motions you over, you will stand next to him in the center aisle with the cup of wine.  Pastor will give people the wafer/piece of bread.  He will also bless children who do not take communion yet.
  4. People will take their wfer/piece of bread to your cup of wine.  you will say to them: "The blood of Christ, shed for you." Be sure to hold your cup of wine low enough for each person, so that person can see the wine and dip the wafer/piece of bread.
  5. When Pastor sees of the church is finished taking communion, he will switch you to the other side alongside him.
  6. When everydoby else has taken communion, Pastor Steve will give you communion.  Then you will give Pastor Steve a wafer with the words, "the body of Christ, given for you" and offer the cup with the words, "the blood of Christ, shed for you."
  7. Return to your seat.
