Communion is served on the first Sunday of the month, with additional opportunities offered at special times of the year. The congregation is served in the pews by deacons and deaconesses and presided over by the pastors. At PRCC, the communion table is “open to all Christians who wish to know the presence of Christ and share in the community of God’s people.” (Book of Worship) You need not be a member of our church or of any church to participate. Home or hospital communion is available upon request of one of our pastors.

At PRCC, parents are encouraged to decide whether their children are able to receive communion. Every other year, a Sacraments Workshop is conducted for children in second through fourth grades to help them understand the meaning behind Communion and Baptism. A more in-depth discussion occurs during our Confirmation program, which is offered for young people in sixth through eighth grade.

Some parents choose to have their children take communion from a very early age. Others opt to wait until their children have completed the Sacraments Workshop or have received Confirmation.
