Communion

Normally, communion is held on the last Sunday of every month, except July.

However, due to the COVID restrictions and the extra work involved, we will not be having communion at the end of December this year.

Sunday 31st January – COMMUNION SUNDAY

Our next communion service will take place on Sunday 31st January. This will still be very different from usual, but it is permitted. All those joining on Zoom or watching on YouTube are encouraged to have something to eat and drink as we celebrate communion, however it does not have to be bread and wine. Please see our COVID19 page for more information on our Zoom details and YouTube channel.

Some of our communion services are part of family services. Children are invited to take communion, as agreed by the General Assembly in 2002.

We are delighted to welcome others from different denominations.

The current practice at St Columba’s is for bread and alcoholic wine to be served at communion from communal cups. For family communions, juice is served to the children.

About three times a year there is a short afternoon communion for people who find in hard to attend the morning services. This is followed be tea and home baking. For details, please contact the pastoral care coordinators.

Home communion can be arranged. Please contact the minister.
