Communion Wine? Why
Advertisements [?]
I'm wondering if others understand why some churches still serve only wine for communion. I have been attending a Presbyterian church which offers wine or grape juice. Sunday, I decided to attend an Episcopal Church because I think the sanctuary is one of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I enjoyed the service until communion. Everyone walked up to the altar to take communion except me because they were serving wine. I can't drink even a touch of alcohol. So, I don't believe I'll ever attend that church again. I also was surprised that nowhere did the bulletin say or the pastor say that it was wine. I could tell by the smell and I later confirmed it. I'm pretty shocked that congregations still serve only wine.
