CHANGES TO THE CELEBRATION OF HOLY COMMUNION

Background

• The Holy Communion will now be conducted after
  the Sermon to form the climax of our worship
  service
• We will now come forward individually to the
  altar rail to receive the Holy Communion
• Having Holy Communion at the altar rails will
  enable each worshipper to respond to God have
  some quiet moments before God and take the
  opportunity to come forward, approaching God
  personally to seek solace, forgiveness and give
  thanks.
