Preparation

Preparation for taking Holy Communion is a three part process:  theological, spiritual, and liturgical (procedural). For  Communion to be appropriately delivered on the web it is  important that all participants, both celebrants and  communicants, have at least some understanding of these  issues. 

Please be sure to read or listen to the "Liturgical" page  to learn how to set up your service of Holy Communion.  At the bottom of each document is a button named  "Print or Speak."  By selecting  that button you will be able to easily print  or hear the  topic. Navigation  buttons will be found at the top of each  "Printer Friendly" page. 

You can navigate the menu on the right  using either your mouse or the left and  right arrow keys.  On  each page you reach you will see or hear the "Print or Speak" button.  If you wish to return to the previous page you can use the left arrow-key to find the back-button (with a voice prompt).
