  • when is communion served?

    Communion, also known as The Lord’s Supper, is served on the first Sunday of every month during worship. All are welcome to accept the invitation to the Table. Those who come need not be concerned about their personal appearance or aptitude. What matters is that the love, the grace and the hospitality in God the Holy Spirit create unanimity among us. This meal is provided, not because we have earned the right to eat and drink with Jesus, but simply as an act of divine love.
