Have you ever eaten bread and drank wine?

[Txroads]

We do so every weekend at our church. But I dont think there is a command as to where communion is to be taken. I think either way is acceptable as long as we are remembering Him.

Kayla!... Whoohoo...... Hello....

Catholics share the cup, which I would never ever do and the priest finishes anything that is left over. They use the real thing so I'm sure they're flying by the time they leave church.

Not really. The priest have to live a life of poverty, and that includes the wine. Each person takes about a quarter of a teaspoon worth. By the time I left the RCC (late 1970's), they used something like plastic medicine cups/mouthwash cups, and there wasn't enough wine in each to gargle. lol Did they go back to the one-chalice method since then?

Jesus shared his cup with his disciples also. Is it a matter of hygene why you wouldn't share?

Willie-T, most common churches around here are catholic.

The pastor eats bread and drinks wine/grape juice (I don't really know which one of both) and the people going to church receive a small round white bread thingy. These masses are quite mundane to be honest. Nothing like a flamboyant gospel church where everybody is singing and praising.

Priest don't drink mere grape juice. That's wine. Got a Catholic vineyard owner or brothers/monks making wine in the area, and that's where they're getting it from. (If the alter boys are teens, they might be sipping some while pouring it into the chalice before mass. At least, my brothers boasted of such things, but they also swore it got them drunk, and I doubt it. By the time they'd get drunk, the priest would see the difference in the bottle.) Round white bread thingies are wafers. (Assuming we're both talking the thingies that stick to the roof of your mouth.)

Yep, wafers they be.

I wonder how blue_ladybug drinks out of a cup btw.

When you go to church, the pastor eats bread and drinks wine, but most of the time in common churches it's only the pastor who does so, and maybe some of the other pastors.

I bought a bottle of wine today, like I sometimes do and planned drinking some.
Taking a glass out of the cupboard I noticed our daily bread laying on the shelf.

The light went on.

So I ate some bread and drank some wine.

The Bible states Jesus recommended his disciples to do the same to remember him.

Do you eat bread and drink wine? I'm planning on doing so every week at least.

To be honest, it gives quite a saturated feeling.

My best wishes.

Yes, I eat some unleavened bread and drink a little wine at Holy Communion during the church service. That said, you should really only ever do it in communion with other believers.
