The First Sunday in Lent

Communion Invitation and Directions: At Abounding Joy we celebrate Holy Communion as a means of God’s saving grace for us in Jesus. All Christians who believe that Jesus Christ is truly present in the Lord’s Supper bringing His gift of forgiveness are welcome to participate. You’ll be ushered up the center aisle. Go to the front, receive the bread in an open hand and take a glass of wine (or white grape juice for those who, for medical reasons, are not able to receive wine). Once you’ve communed, place your empty glass in the basket, and return to your seat by way of the side aisle. If you have mobility problems, contact an usher and communion will be brought to your seat. Gluten free wafers are available upon request.
