So how did everyone feel about those Communion kits? I was serving upstairs all weekend so I witnessed it all from above. We did take Communion up there too and we all had the same opinion.

Were any of you concerned you might get the H1N1 virus (which is no longer called Swine flu since it doesn't come from pigs)?

Personally I'd rather go back to either the regular bread, or pieces of unleavened bread broken or on a tray. It's not like someone fingers all the bread. Each person takes the bread they touched except perhaps for the servers, who I hope don't have colds when they serve anyway.

What do you think? Should we keep the kits?

For some reason, I didn't expect them to be a permanent thing. With my intolerance to wheat gluten, I prefer the special cracker that is usually provided for me up front on Communion weekend.

I don't think they'll be permanent either. I think it was an overreaction based on unfounded fears but I guess I appreciate that someone out there thinks about people's feelings more than I do. That's not one of my gifts.
