This Christmas Eve, members of St. John s Anglican Church in Lunenburg, N.S., who can t attend the service in person will still be able to take part in communion.
Church volunteers have delivered about 170 Christmas bags to parishioners homes, each with two pre-consecrated communion wafers, along with special instructions about how to treat the sacrament. I never thought I would be delivering communion in this way. It s very, very strange, said Rev. Laura Marie Piotrowicz. But we also never thought we d be celebrating Christmas in the middle of a pandemic.
