Communion assistants have important roles in the worship experience at FMUMC, where communion typically occurs during worship on the first Sunday of each month. Our communion stewards and communion servers both honor God in important ways:

• Communion stewards prepare the bread and juice for the celebration of the Eucharist by setting the bread on a paten (plate), filling chalices or cups with juice, and placing them on the altar before the service. After the last service, they return any remaining consecrated elements of bread and juice to the earth. This work, while occuring "behind-the-scenes," is nevertheless a vital part of the sacrament of communion. Contact Ray and Ellen Garrison.
• Communion servers assist the pastors by giving the bread and the cup to worshipers during communion.

Typically, communion assistants serve during one Sunday or one worship service every other month (six times annually), but you can serve more frequently if you wish and if your service is needed. To learn more or volunteer, please contact Jo Lynn Fink.
