Cold and Flu Season As we begin these winter
months, many people have concerns about passing around cold
and flu germs during the greeting of peace and receiving the
Precious Blood at Communion. We appreciate and respect those
concerns. If the people around you are reluctant to shake your
hands during the greeting of peace, please do not take offense.
A smile and a nod of the head with a sincere wish for the peace
of Christ is a fine way of wishing that blessing to those around
you. Also, if you have a cold, think you may be getting one or
feel achey with flu symptoms (sounds like a commercial,
doesn’t it?), then please do not drink from the cup at
Communion. If you wish, you might just stop before the chalice
with the Precious Blood, give a reverent nod and silently
remind yourself of Christ’s gift of himself to us.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

fully accepted. These can be delivered to Genesis House Monday - Friday from
10 a.m.—4 p.m. from now until April, 2015.
