A church member will greet you and direct you towards the sanctuary where an usher will be available to hand out bulletins and answer any questions you may have. You may sit anywhere you like! The bulletin lists the order of things in the worship service and we include our KYP (Keeping You Posted) weekly insert so everyone can get all the news about Ivy for the week(s) ahead.
What if I visit on a day you are celebrating communion?
Please join us! Everyone at Ivy Chapel is welcome to take part in communion. We celebrate communion on the first Sunday of each month as well as on special holy days. We celebrate communion at the front of the sanctuary at the steps to the altar. Everyone is invited to come forward when they are ready to receive bread and wine/grape juice as symbols of the body and blood of Jesus Christ. The bread is available at the first station from an usher. After eating the bread, move to the next station to partake of the cup. Grape juice is in the outer rings, wine in the inner rings. After consuming both bread and cup, you may return to your seat.
