Communion at St Stephen

St. Stephen is a congregation of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America, so all are welcome to receive Christ’s body and blood in the Lord’s Supper. Participants have the choice of drinking the wine from the common cup, taking an individual cup from the acolyte, or taking one of the cups of grape juice from the middle of the round tray. Gluten-free wafers are available as an alternative to bread.
