Which frankly I think is disgusting, as does my minister who is a former nurse, but he offers the common cup every other time because it keeps the traditionalists happy.Emily Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296959621939970413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-53281607639402504372011-12-06T13:46:34.538+10:002011-12-06T13:46:34.538+10:00I am guessing you are Baptist...Considering you ar...I am guessing you are Baptist...Considering you are calling it "juice." My Methodist, Lutheran and Catholic friends all drink wine. I don't know about other denominations...Anyway, that is funny! Our "bread" is never good. And one day we had a young friend with our girls who decided she hated grape juice too much to drink it...I thought my husband was going to have a stroke at her rudeness/irreverence.Andihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09671734421067213452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-65202346408726200092011-12-06T11:51:23.841+10:002011-12-06T11:51:23.841+10:00Parents may now be swallowed up by the earth.

After last Sunday's service, when all the adults were busy chatting, I noticed the kids descend on the communion table and start slamming back the grape juice shots and tearing into the remaining bread.<br /><br />I brought it to someone else's attention. "Should we be stopping that?" I asked, wavering between horror and amusement.<br /><br />He considered the sight. "I say, let's just let 'em!" he said, and chuckled.<br /><br />That man I asked is one of the straightest, most by-the-book old Baptists I've met, so I happily bowed to his opinion.<br /><br />Or maybe he was rostered on to cleanup and didn't want to deal with the left overs...Allegro ma non troppohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04429615833285806779noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474627686283911965.post-2775178777300009832011-12-05T16:32:17.600+10:002011-12-05T16:32:17.600+10:00At my church we sometimes have communion in our se...At my church we sometimes have communion in our seats and sometimes we go up to the front to be served there. Only it's not just 'the front' - being a med-large church, we have 5 serving points, otherwise the process would take an hour. My friend's son is 19 and has Down Syndrome. She realised one day that he was taking communion at three different points every time. She questioned him about it and he said, "But... I'm hungry!" :DEmily Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07296959621939970413noreply@blogger.com
