† A NOTE ABOUT COMMUNION DISTRIBUTION  For your information, during communion distribution both bread and wine are served as Christ said when He instituted the meal.  If you would like a gluten free wafer of bread let the serving elder know when he comes by.  It would be best if you tell him verbally.  If you would like alcohol free wine it is available in the sealed cups in the center of the tray.  You may simply take one, or if the elder is handing them out you will have to indicate which one you want.  If you would like communion taken down to you in the pew, please inform an usher, serving elder or pastor before communion.
