Drive-Thru Communion Would you like to receive the Sacrament of the Lord's Supper? Listen to the podcast in the morning, then we will form a line of cars in the parking lot loop. The lower lot will be closed off. At the bend opposite the main road Pastor will have individual communion set up. If you roll down your windows you might hear the Words of Institution, but you'll certainly be able to witness that the elements are consecrated in the church's usual order. Individual, sealed, bread and wine will be placed on a small table on the driver's side of the driveway, As you pull up,you can take one "packet" for each communicant in your car. Pastor will speak the words of distribution and the blessings from 6 ft away (masked as well). Once you have partaken of the Sacrament, simply toss the empty cup in the basket provided. Then roll up your window and drive forward. NO TOUCHING, NO GETTING OUT OF THE CARS, ALL IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CDC/GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES.
