I agree, but our present church does juice, so I'm *okay* with that. I find it WAY more authentic to actually use bread and real wine. The best communion service I was EVER in was one where we actually broke real bread and passed a cup of wine. Not for the faint of heart or the germophobes, though. It was headed up by an old ALJC preacher/teacher, Bro. Fred Gill. It was VERY special and I will never forget it. As a side note, I loved hearing that man teach. He taught for hours at a time, and even as a young, restless kid I would forget the time and sit completely captivated as he told stories and wove tapestries of scripture.

His endtime stuff was interesting, too (albeit full of holes), but I mostly enjoyed his stories from ministry and missions.

Elder Gill was indeed a great teacher.

Re: Communion: How often?

We do it monthly at an Encounter Service on the first Wednesday night of the month. It's always a special time of reflection and celebration.
