St. Davids' lay Eucharistic visitors are a vital means of connecting our shut-in members to the rest of the church community. Each Sunday one or two lay Eucharistic visitors take some of the blessed bread and wine from our service to members at their private homes, retirement homes, or nursing homes. The visitors are trained and equipped to conduct Holy Communion services for just a few people.
Visitors receive their traveling kit at the end of the Sunday service they attend, with this commissioning prayer said by the entire congregation:
"We send you forth bearing these holy gifts. May those to whom you go share with us in the the Communion of Christ's body and blood. We who are many are one body, because we all share one bread, one cup."
New
visitors are added and trained at the Rector's discretion. If you would like to be a lay Eucharistic visitor, call the church office or send an e-mail message.
