Communion. Today we celebrate the Eucharist by intinction. All bread will be free of gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, and tree nuts, and the cup will contain grape juice. Allergen-free wafers will be available at a single station at the front of the auditorium. Communion servers will use hand sanitizer prior to serving, and conferees and faculty are encouraged to do the same. The communion servers will hand the piece of bread to the recipient, who will dip their piece of bread into the cup. Exit your pew to the left; return to the right. A limited number of pre-packaged gluten-free communion elements are available at the front lake side of the Auditorium near the allergen-free station.
