Lay Eucharistic Visitor Training

Eucharistic Visitors are members of the congregation who are selected by their pastor and trained to bring the communion meal from worship to ill and homebound members of their congregation who are unable to attend service.

LCS’s training ministry engages learners in the Biblical and theological background of the Sacrament of Holy Communion and teaches potential Eucharistic Visitors about visitation and administration of the sacrament.

LCS will host two virtual trainings for Lay Eucharistic Visitors in fall 2020.

Choose Saturday September 19, or October 3, 2020

Those participating will be mailed a guidebook prior to the training. Participants will be asked to read sections of the text prior to the training day (instructors for both sessions are ELCA pastors).

Instructors will be using Zoom to deliver the training, which will last about two hours, starting at 10am. Participants will be asked to complete some follow up work and a final virtual check-in before the training certificate is issued.

Pastors, please direct those from your congregation who wish to register, to complete the application by clicking here, or to mail the completed registration form to Julia Menzo at [email protected].
