Jesus certainly would have preferred Pinot over Cab Sauv! I'm Catholic and we do the same thing each mass...I love it as iIm a creature of habit. I'm curious what you come up with. A little spice would be awesome...though i wonder why it's not done each service? It's the most important part of Sunday for me. I’m happy to donate some Anne Amie Pinot Noir for communion.

If you want to be in the picture get over on this side of the table!" What did Jesus say just before the last supper?

After their talk, they gave communion fairly typically: eat, pray, drink, pray, sing.

As people came, they would be served by the couple at that station and when you receive the bread/juice you would take the trays and serve the people behind you. Neat expression of community and reminding each other that communion is a family event. The other time we did things a little different took a lot of work and planning but it was really worth it. We basically took the communion table and placed it in the centre of our auditorium and circled all of our chairs around the table.

Toward the end of the service the ministers take the bread and break it into pieces on a plate. As they do so, one says appropriate words regarding the body of Christ. They then kneel, along with the congregation and ask God's blessing on the bread and on the church. Next, they take the plates and offer it to everyone individually. For the wine (we use wine) the ministers return to the table, put the bread plates down and pour the wine into one or more cups (crystal wine glass actually) while again saying some appropriate words regarding the blood of Christ. Afterward everyone kneels while a minister asks God's blessing on the wine. The minister(s) then takes the cup(s) and hands it to each one individually. Everyone drinks from the same glass although sometimes we use several glasses for large congregations.

You just want that bread so bad? Then we took communion and talked about Jesus the bread of life and how we much we should desire Him... was an awesome night.
