Eucharistic Practice Trial Underway
Beginning with the Sunday, September 9 services, there will be a 3-month trial modification in Trinity's Eucharistic practice. Instead of pita bread, which has been served at the 9 a.m. and 11:15 services, we will use wafers.
There are three reasons for this experiment. First, because pita comes in five-loaf packages, left-overs of consecrated bread have been a problem. Second, because the consistency of pita can differ, some loaves are easily divided, while others test the hand strength of the Eucharistic ministers. Finally, pita is prone to shredding, with the result that consecrated bread sometimes falls to the floor and must then be consumed.
At the conclusion of the trial, the 9 a.m and 11:15 a.m congregations will be surveyed to determine response. Contact Dean Gaston at
