All those recognised as communicants by the Participating Denominations may receive the sacrament.
Worship. A curate needs to share in corporate prayer and worship, not only with the congregation, but also with the incumbent and other colleagues. Times and occasions for this daily/weekly prayer time together need to be clearly stated. There should be a regular opportunity to share in the design and leading of worship, and in preaching. Agreement needs to be reached regarding the frequency of preaching (twice a month to begin with is suggested for stipendiary/full time curates) and it is desirable that the curate's sermons should be reviewed with the incumbent and with other colleagues and lay people where appropriate. We have agreed the following pattern for the curate’s participation in participation, leading and designing worship: … … Regular review will include: Time spent in attendance Conduct of public worship Developing, leading and creating liturgy Time spent preaching Spirituality and personal development In addition to participating in corporate prayer and worship the curate should be encouraged to develop a personal prayer life which can be sustained when alone. To this end the acquisition of a spiritual director/soul friend/personal consultant is deemed to be essential, as is a quiet time/retreat at least once a year. Encouragement should also be given to enable personal, as distinct from professional, reading to be developed. To this end we have agreed the following in regard to: A regular pattern of private prayer and daily worship Provision of spiritual direction/companionship and time off to receive Annual Retreat (at least a minimum of 5 days for full-time posts in addition to annual leave allowance) Spiritual reading and reflection Structured learning and reflection: professional development no less than 15 % of ministerial time each week, (for full-time posts this is the equivalent of one day per week).

Worship. Worship of the Triune God is the epicenter of congregational ministry. Although each congregation maintains their own regular Sunday services, opportunities for worshiping God together will be lifted up throughout our ministry partnership as well. Joint worship services may take the form of, but are not limited to: Mid- week Lenten services, holiday services (such as Thanksgiving and/or New Year’s Day), select holy week services (such as Maundy Thursday and/or Good Friday), and 5th Sunday joint worship services. The Joint Council in partnership with the pastor will determine the frequency of these joint services. Sunday Worship Service Times: worship at St. Peter’s Lutheran Church will be at 8:30am and worship at Faith Lutheran Church will be at 10:10am. The pastor will be present at both congregations every Sunday, unless the pastor is on vacation or continuing education.
Worship. You praise God and grow closer with Xxxxxx by • Making presence and active participation in Sunday Mass a priority; • Encouraging one another to pray daily and read Scripture; • Offering one another a simple blessing such as “Good night, God bless you, and I love you” every night before bed; • Participating in the Sacrament of Reconciliation at least once a year.
