Get Ready For Communion Sunday
We Gather Around Christ’s Table as a Family
On Sunday, March 13th, we host our 7th annual Communion Service (see photos from the previous years). We gather for a huge banquet-style meal punctuated by moments of reflection on the broken body and shed blood of our Savior. It’s the privilege of those who have been welcomed into the family of God through the sacrifice of his only begotten Son.
Morning Service is Canceled
The Communion Service begins at 5:00pm at our normal meeting place, the Woman's Club of Orange. It’s a potluck, so we need you to help pull it off!
FAQs
Below are answers to some of the most common questions we get:
What can I bring?
Households of 1 or 2, bring a side (green salad, mashed potatoes, macaroni salad, etc.).
Households of 3 or 4, bring an entree.
Households of 5 or more, bring a side and an entree.
We’re looking for volunteers to provide dessert. If you want to bring something sweet to share, then please do!
I have a baby/toddler. Does my household count as a 3-person household?
If you expect your child to eat the food we are sharing, count them. If not, or not really, err on the side of the smaller household number.
Will there be childcare?
Not this Sunday. Family-style means everybody will be together the entire time. Think Thanksgiving dinner. Kids will get antsy and that's ok. Don't feel bad about getting up and down from your seat with your children.
Who should take communion?
Whether a member or a guest, if you’ve trusted in Christ for the forgiveness of your sins we invite you to take communion with us. Generally speaking, those who are not ready to be baptized should refrain from taking the elements and simply observe. More details about our practice of communion are available here.
How can I keep my dish warm?
If you bring your food in a crockpot, you will be able to plug it in at the buffet table.
I have special dietary needs. Will there be food for me to eat?
This is a potluck, everyone is contributing. Your best bet is to bring something you know you can eat.
Are guests and regular attenders welcome?
Yes, please join us!
