About Lay Eucharistic Ministry

The Prince of Peace Lay Eucharistic Ministry provides communion for members of our congregation who are unable to attend worship.  Following our worship services, Lay Eucharistic Ministers (LEMs) distribute the elements of bread and wine to the ill or homebound.  Communion is delivered wherever the individuals reside.  This currently includes homes, hospitals, skilled nursing facilities, and assisted living communities.  This process maintains a clear and strong connection between members of our congregation, who are assembled in worship and those who are unable to be with us at our table of fellowship.

LEMs participate in a 4-session training program to prepare them to participate in this ministry.  Preparation involves study of the liturgy and theology of the sacrament as well as hands-on practice and role-playing.  Various situational circumstances are also discussed.

To receive Holy Communion or for information about joining the Lay Eucharistic Ministry, contact one of the Pastors or Ginny Fink, Coordinator of our Lay Eucharistic Ministry.
