Communion Stewards assist in extending the sacrament of Holy Communion by serving alongside clergy and other leaders monthly on the first Thursday. Interested volunteers receive training quarterly. Responsibilities include:
- Arriving early on your assigned Sunday to receive your station assignment and any other important information.
- Being able to stand at one of four communion stations for approximately 15 minutes during worship.
- Distributing elements to congregation members.
- Assisting with clean up following communion.
Additional opportunities are available for volunteers interested in taking communion to persons who are unable to attend worship due to illness or personal situation. You do not have to be a professing member of Silver Spring United Methodist Church to participate in the ministry.
