On Sundays where we are celebrating communion, all those who trust in Jesus as Lord and Saviour are welcome to participate in your home. In order to participate, make sure you have bread and wine or grape juice readily available for your household. Rev. Matt Brough will be leading you through this time.

Two things to keep in mind as we celebrate communion.

Our Church has an open table. This means that anyone who trusts in Jesus as Lord and Saviour is welcome to participate. It doesn’t matter whether you belong to a different congregation or denomination, it doesn’t matter how frequently you have come to church. Having a full understanding of communion is also not a pre-requisite. Children are welcome to participate at the discretion and under the supervision of their parents of guardians.
The celebration and participation in communion is intended to be done together as a community. Obviously, this is more challenging in a time when we cannot gather together. As much as possible, please try to join the celebration of communion when we are live on YouTube at 10am. We recognize that this is not possible for everyone, and that some will join later by watching the replay. Although not ideal, we see this as similar to the minister visiting someone in their home later in the day or the week to provide communion for someone who was unable to be present in worship.

In 2012, the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada approved guidelines for providing communion using technology. Since these provisions are already in place, and as Prairie celebrates communion once a month, we believe it is important for our practice to continue.

We hope that sharing in communion in your home will be meaningful for you.
