The Great Thanksgiving

Our Lord’s Prayer No. 895 Giving the Bread & Cup—You are invited to come forward and receive

communion by “intinction”. You will receive a piece of bread which you will dip into the cup. After you partake you may choose to pray at the altar rail. As United Methodists, we celebrate “open communion”, meaning it is not necessary to belong to this congregation to receive the sacrament. John Wesley believed the sacrament had “saving power”, and no one should be denied. Children are always welcome.
