 1. '''Mode of celebrating communion''': It has been suggested we move to serving communion by having people come to the front, taking a piece of bread and then dipping it in the cup. This is the practice at 8.00am. People make the conscious decision to take communion by moving to the table. It also makes preparation of the elements easy by eliminating the small glasses. Frail people unable to come forward can still be served in their seats (this happens now).
 1. '''Sanctuary furniture, especially placement of the font''': Currently, the font is pushed aside and forgotten between baptisms. Can we find a permanent place for it on the sanctuary platform? Suggestions to do this would be to remove the lectern and replace it with the pulpit and then put the font where the pulpit now is. Suggestions for use for the lectern are - put it on wheels and use it in the foyer for people to sign memorial books at funerals; put it at the back of the church to be used for prayers of the people; use it part of a quiet space in the church (or elsewhere in the complex) for private devotions; even donate it to another church.
