Re: Family Structure

Over 20 yrs ago briefly attended a church in another city and state. They had a communion service and I was surprised by his "delivery". Each family went forward as a group, then the father was given the communion "bread and wine" (truly I don't recall if it was wine or grape juice....)
Each father administered communion to his family.

For singles, and others without a family as such, the pastor or asst pastor gave communion for that circle of believers.

I just found it interesting to see this use of the father as the priest of his family.
