COMMUNION IN THE PEWS - Full Attendance


Instructions on Serving Pew Communion
1. The instructions for serving for a full attendance (“in season”) as for a light attendance (“off season”). There are more elders and the stations are different.
2. Elders 3, 5, 7 and 9 begin serving at the mid-point of the two center pew areas (there should be small red ribbons on the end of a row – this marks where these elders begin to serve).
3. IF the choir remains in the loft, we will need an additional elder to go upstairs to serve the choir members.

At the end of the service, please pick up the used communion cups.
