To receive communion, stand or kneel at the rail, stand against the plaster wall inside the rail, or notify an usher that you need to have Communion brought to you at your seat. After you receive Communion at (or inside) the rail, please remain in place until the Chalicist says “Go in peace.” The response after receiving each kind (Bread and Wine) is “Amen” or you may remain silent. If you wish to receive a blessing instead of Communion, please cross your arms over your chest before the Bread comes by. Gluten-free wafers are available; simply ask the person distributing the Bread. We drink the wine from the Common Cup. We do not practice “intinction,” that is, dipping Bread in Wine. If you do not wish to drink from the Chalice, please cross your arms over your chest so the Chalicist knows this. Receiving the Sacrament in either kind alone constitutes a full and valid Communion. Saint John's Church is committed to achieving the full inclusion of all people in Christ's Body, the Church. Please feel free to ask the Rector if you have any questions. Please join in singing the Communion music: Communion Hymn 649 O Je - sus, joy of lov - ing hearts, The fount We taste in you our liv - ing bread, And long For you our rest - less spi - rits yearn Where - 'er O Je - sus, ev - er with us stay; Make all We We Glad, O seek drink when chase the peace your love im - parts, And of you, the foun - tain - head, Our your pre - sence we dis - cern, Blest, the night of sin a - way, Shed Dickinson College of life and our to feast up - on our chang - ing lot our mo - ments calm true light, you still; is cast; and bright; stand re - joic - ing in your thirst - ing souls to quench and when our faith can hold you o'er the world your ho - ly sight. fill. fast. light.
