Communion seated is the prevailing practice in much of Protestantism and is a necessity for those unable to stand or kneel. It enable members of the congregation to serve one another and expresses our union with one another in Christ. Communion standing has become much more common in recent years. One may go forward to a communion station and be served. Smaller congregations may form a large circle and serve one another.
Standing symbolizes an active response of praise, thanksgiving and commitment.
This rough draft for church members is reprinted from Interpreter . Members will always take the less desirable seats near the front of the church so that visitors and shy newcomers have the choice seats near the back. Members will park down the street from the church, so that visitors can have the best parking places. Members will take turns dressing casually for church to let newcomers know any kind of dress is appropriate. Members will never speak ill of their pastor or church at the beauty parlor, coffee shop or ballpark.
