For the Catholic church-going SCDers out there, the SCD webmaster agrees with the following answer regarding receiving holy communion: quot;I'm not a Catholic (nor do I play one on TV ), but am Lutheran. I still take communion with the usual unleavened bread and wine. I have faith that God will take care of this small amount of "illegals" - and that the benefit of the Sacrament FAR outweighs the risk from the starch!

When you kneel or stand at the altar rail, you will be offered a wafer of consecrated bread and a sip of consecrated wine from the common chalice. The usual way to receive the bread is to place your right hand in your left, and to extend your open palms toward the server. To receive the wine from the chalice, it is helpful if you guide the chalice from the base of it to your lips.

The main effect of the Eucharist is to draw us ever more closely to God and to one another. In this way the Eucharist ‘makes the Church’. As the Church receives the Body of Christ, so too it becomes the Body of Christ in and for the world. In other words, we become Christ as we receive Christ.

On special occasions, e.g. baptism, confirmation, wedding, funeral. Those closest may receive Holy Communion provided that they are practising Christians, share our beliefs in the Eucharist, and expressly ask permission to receive.

You will need to receive the sacrament first, and the Rector will be glad to advise you and help you take that step in your spiritual life. Meanwhile, come to the altar rail, cross your hands over your chest and receive a blessing.

You make that decision as a parent. Some parents want their children to receive Communion as soon as they are able to come to the altar rail and receive. Others prefer to wait until their children have received Communion instruction, which is offered in the first or second grade. If you are unsure about your own preferences in the matter, speak with the Rector.

Their first communion should be as a baptised adult of approximately twenty years of age. They should be properly counseled in the faith and have the need for repentance impressed upon them and then baptised into the body of Jesus Christ. Their communion should be an annual Lord's Supper taken in all consideration after having been duly prepared in accordance with the Bible Laws and sequence. Look at Repentance and Baptism (No.

Absolutely, as long as you have been baptized. Jesus is the host for the sacred meal we call Holy Communion and he welcomes all his brothers and sisters to the table, regardless of their denominational background or affiliation.

Yes. The Episcopal Church recognizes that some marriages die. The Church mourns with you, but welcomes you to Communion as part of your healing and growth.

A service of Holy Communion is celebrated on the first Sunday of the Month and sometimes at other special Sundays and other services.

There are Catholic Religious Instruction classes held in the school on Wednesday nights. Children who attend these classes can make their First Holy Communion and Confirmation with other local schools. These classes are organised by parents and are completely seperate from the curriculum taught in the NKETS.

During most of the first millennium it was a matter of course to receive Communion under both kinds. Anxiety about the possibility of spilling, as well as other factors, led to the eventual withdrawing of the chalice. While it is Catholic belief that the whole Christ is present under either kind, receiving Communion in the form of bread and wine expresses more fully what Jesus did at the Last Supper when he said “Take and eat” and “Take and drink”.

We practice “open communion”, that is, all those who believe in Jesus Christ are welcome to the Lord’s table, regardless of denominational background.

John explains that, at the end of the Last Supper, the Lord began to wash the feet of the disciples. After performing this great act of humility, the Lord said, If I then, your Lord and master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done unto you (Jn 13:14-15). Primitive Baptists understand that this commandment is to be followed in literal detail as well as in spirit.
