† WORSHIP NOTES We have returned to the practice of kneeling at the Communion rail for the Sacrament. As always, if you choose to stand you certainly may. We are printing large print bulletins. We are also offering the common communion cup. The common cup has always been optional at our church and will continue to be. If you would like to offer any feedback we would welcome it.
