If you are visiting or here for the first time.. The Anglican Church teaches that all that are baptised in any Christian tradition are welcome to receive the sacrament at the time of communion. It is God's invitation to the table, if you feel so moved you are invited and welcomed. If you do not wish to receive communion but would like a blessing, please come forward and cross your hands over your chest. If you do not wish to drink wine from the chalice, please feel comfortable to receive the bread alone. Simply cross your arms over your chest so the Eucharistic assistant knows. 3
