Communion Assistants have such important roles in the worship experience at Flower Mound United Methodist Church. Communion typically occurs during worship on the first Sunday of each month. There are Communion Stewards and Communion Servers.

Communion Stewards prepare the bread and juice for the celebration of the Eucharist, and they do so 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 "behind-the-scenes" position is a very important part of the sacrament of communion.

Communion Servers assist the pastors by giving the bread and the cup to worshipers during Communion. Like the Communion Stewards, Servers have a significant role in worship.

Typically, Communion Assistants serve during one Sunday or one worship service every other month...only six Sundays / services a year! Of course, one may volunteer to serve more regularly. Being a Communion Assistant is an easy way to honor God.

Please thoughtfully and prayerfully consider how you may serve God, your church family, and your community by playing an active role in assisting with worship as a Communion Assistant!!!
