How do you celebrate Holy Communion?
- The first method, that is used most often at the traditional service, worshipers stay seated in the pews and the elements – bread and the cup (small cups of wine or juice) – are passed down each aisle by the ushers. First the bread is served. When everyone in the congregation has received the bread, we all eat the bread at the same time, as a community. Then the cup is served and we all drink the cup, as a community. (There are small cup holders on the back of the pew to place the cup when you’ve finished.)
- In the second method, called intinction, the bread and the wine are at the front of the sanctuary. Each pew, starting at the front, walks up to the front of the sanctuary, takes a piece of bread and dips it in the cup. Most people take the element right away, as they walk back to their seat.

What is the United Church of Christ?

What do you believe?
I believe in the living God…Who creates and sustains the universe in power and in love.
I believe in Jesus Christ, God incarnate on earth, who showed us by his words and work, suffering with others, and conquest of death, what human life ought to be and what God is like.
I believe that the spirit of God is present with us now and always, and can be experienced in prayer, in forgiveness, in the word, in the sacraments, in the community of the church and in all that we do. Amen. (World Council of Churches)
