Visitors and newcomers
to our community: We are glad to have you worship with us
here today. There are informational leaflets in the pews and
newcomer packets available in the narthex. If you will be
living in the area, please give us your name and address so
we can include you in our mailings and activities.
If you are not
accustomed to worship in the Episcopal Church, here are some
helpful hints.
The Book of Common
Prayer is the red book containing the services of the Church;
The Hymnal 1982 is the blue book which contains both chants
(marked with "S" in the front part of the book) and hymns
(without the "S"). If you are with someone else, it helps
if one person finds pages in the Hymnal and the other in the
Prayer Book.
Receiving Communion:
All baptized people are invited to receive. Please approach
the altar rail at the direction of the ushers. To receive
the Host, place one hand over the other, palm open and lifted,
so the priest can place the host in your palm. To receive
the Cup, use your right hand to assist the chalice bearer
in guiding the chalice to your lips. If you wish to receive
by intinction, you may do so by picking up the Host the priest
has placed in your palm, and dipping it in the chalice when
presented with the Cup. Ladies, please blot your lipstick
with tissue before receiving from the Cup.
