the offering, you would please fill out the information requested in the Maroon Welcome Booklet. The Welcome Booklet is to be passed to you

Holy Communion is celebrated during our service. Baptized believers who believe in Jesus’ real
presence in the sacrament, repent of their sins, and recognize Christ in, with,
and under the bread and wine are invited to commune. Children who have not been admitted to
Communion in our church should place their hands over their chests in the form
of a cross to receive a blessing. For
those unable to drink wine, the clear cup in the center of each tray contains
water tinctured with wine.
