Lay Eucharistic Ministry
Lay Eucharistic Ministers are members of the congregation who bring Communion to those who are unable to come to church because of illness or infirmity. Kits containing consecrated sacraments are provided to the Ministers during a service, and they conduct abbreviated Communion services in homes, the hospital, or nursing homes. Ministers also have a pastoral role, offering their presence in a way than can bring hope and even healing to those who may feel isolated or lonely. Usually visitors leave feeling that they have received far more than they have given.
Twice each month, Ministers from St. Luke's celebrate Holy Communion with residents of the Beaufont Towers Assisted Living Community in Richmond. In addition, Ministers ccelebrate Communion with parishioners who are unable to come to church as needed at their homes.
For more information on the Lay Eucharistic Ministry program, please contact Betty Estes or the Church Office.
