The elements of the Lord’s Supper will include both grape juice and wine in each tray. The wine

will be placed in the outside row. The grape juice will be placed in all other rows. If you are

unsure about which element is where, please ask a serving elder. Please take and eat the bread as
you receive it, symbolizing your personal relationship with Jesus Christ, but hold the cup until all

have received it so that we may drink together, symbolizing our unity as the body of Christ.
