Communion Sunday, Prepping Your Heart

Friends, though January feels half over, this is the 1st Sunday of the month, and per usual we will partake of Holy Communion together. Couple o' thoughts as you prepare:
1.) You will remain at your seat and we will pass the bread and wine down the rows
2.) This text is in the bulletin/worship folder to help frame people's thinking:

Communion, also called The Lord’s Supper or the Eucharist, is the family meal of Christians. We invite all committed followers of Jesus Christ to partake of this sacrament: those who are baptized members of a congregation which proclaims the gospel, who are at peace with God and with their neighbor, and who seek strength to live more faithfully for Christ. If you are not a Christian, or if you are not prepared to share in this meal, we encourage you to spend this time in prayer using the prayers provided on the next page as guidelines. We hope that this time is helpful to you as you
consider your relationship with Jesus Christ and with His people, the church. Note About Communion

Wine: The outer ring of the tray contains non-alcoholic grape juice; the other cups contain wine.
