Holy Communion is celebrated at St. John’s almost every Sunday. Following the sermon, ushers invite each row to come forward to receive the bread and wine from the pastor or other communion assistants.
If you prefer not to receive Communion, you are welcome to cross your arms over your chest to indicate that you would like to receive a blessing instead. You are also welcome to remain seated during Communion. We want you to feel comfortable and welcome, whatever you choose.

Holy Communion, also called the Lord’s Supper, is a sacrament instituted by Jesus Christ in which He gives us His true body and blood, together with the bread and wine, for the forgiveness of sins, life, and salvation. At St. John’s, we believe Christ is truly present in  the bread and wine, just as He promises in Scripture. Communion is a gift of God's grace that strengthens our faith and assures us of Christ's forgiveness and love.
