What is “Open Communion”?
"Wherever you are on your faith journey, wherever you have come from and wherever you are going to, whatever you believe, whatever you do not believe, all are welcome to partake of the Lord's meal. This is God’s meal, not ours.”
At St. Mark's, we welcome everyone to celebrate Eucharist with us. We believe in the inherent value of all travelers in this life journey; "open communion" reminds the parishioners and visitors that all are invited to the Lord's table. Surrounding a central altar, all participants, regardless of whether or not they have been baptized, join together shoulder to shoulder to share the gifts of bread and wine.
Please contact Co-Directors of Worship with any questions or requests for information.
