COMMUNION: Communion is open to all who love Jesus as their Lord. While Church membership used to be the route to taking communion, many churches now recognise that the sacrament of communion is wholly personal, and should take place between you and God. You will not be asked to stand before Session before you can take communion. As a Session, however, we are keen to support you if you would like to chat about it - especially if you are planning to take it for the first time; we can pray about it or find resources that could support you as you take another step in your faith. Please feel free to contact one of your elders at any point.
There is no record of who does and who does not take communion - only a record of who is a member of the Church. They are not the same thing.
We hope you will join us at our next Communion Service in Kilmore Church on 20th September and if it is your first time taking communion, our prayer is that you will be blessed in that special moment between you and God.
N.B: The communion bread is always gluten-free and the wine is alcohol-free.
