There was a church supper on Maundy Thursday at the Congregational
church of my childhood and I think it was sometime during lent that we
took our once a year communion. Maybe it was on Easter Sunday, I
forget. I only remember that we drank grape juice (which always
disappointed me, because I knew that Catholics got to drink wine), we
did it together as a group, bread was passed in a basket and there
were little glass holders built into the pews to hold the glasses when
they weren't being used for communion.
