1-2 DAYS PRIOR TO THE WORSHIP SERVICE

1. Publix Bakery:  Purchase two round loafs of bread per worship service.  One loaf is uncut for the Pastor to break during communion.   Have the other loaf SLICED for intinction.    We recommend using a loaf that has cooled off for the slicing machine.   Instruct them to slice the bread once, then rotate it and slice it a second time perpendicular to the first.   The result is a long-cubed bread that is easily held without congregants dipping their fingers in the juice.   
2. Reimbursement:  If you would like to be reimbursed for communion elements, please turn your receipts into Karen Geeter along with a reimbursement form (available online).  Alternatively, you may turn in your receipt with a note to Karen that you’d like to make the amount a contribution to the church.
