Communion Service FAQs

We celebrate the sacrifice of Christ as a family

This Sunday we host our 5th annual Communion Service (see photos from 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.

FAQs

Our Sunday morning service is canceled. The Communion Service begins at 5:00pm at our normal meeting place, the Woman's Club of Orange. Everyone contributes. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we get asked:

What can I bring?

  • Households of 1 or 2, bring a side.

  • 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.

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!

Is there anything else I can do to help?

Yes, please. Contact Kara for instructions.

Prepare For Our Communion Service

We celebrate the sacrifice of Christ as a family

This Sunday marks our 3rd annual Communion Service (see photos from 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.

Sunday evening is designed to remind us that Christ has welcomed us into a family. We pray together. We sing together. We learn together. We eat together. We cry together. God is using it all to reinforce the truth that we are His adopted children, members of His household, and co-heirs with His Son. We will experience that in a pointed way this week.
