***ATTENTION***
Flu Season Precautions In light of the current state of influenza and after consultation with the local health department, the Diocesan Office of Worship is strongly encouraging us to temporarily suspend Holy Communion from the cup and the shaking of hands at the Sign of Peace. These are precautions that are some years recommended & other years not. Remember that receiving Holy Communion in either the Body or Blood of Christ contains the fullness of Christ's presence. As such we are encouraged to receive both but it is not required nor is the shaking of hands at the Sign of Peace. Even throughout the year, if you are not feeling well, please refrain from receiving Holy Communion from the cup and shaking hands at the Sign of Peace. If you are uncomfortable or concerned about the spread of disease, you do not have to receive from the cup, nor should you feel obligated to shake hands at the “Sign of Peace.” If you are sick, please stay home to rest and recover. Missing Mass because of sickness is not a sin plus it helps you to not share what you have with others. Finally, let us pray for God’s healing grace for our brothers and sisters who are ill.
