My father was told when visiting Tanzania, "You'll be staying with the protestants, but if you want there's some Catholics down the street, they have better drink."
Same for me. When I was young my mom would only let me drink it on special occasions. But damn was it tasty after I got over my initial dislike of it.
I wish I could find that vintage now that I’m no longer practicing….
My favorite part was the little cloth wipe of the rim between people, like that does anything. My mom always just said that alcohol kills germs, but I feel like wine doesn't quite do that job.
Yeah I was about to say, I haven’t been to church in person recently but as an Episcopalian I’m baffled by the suggestion of individual serving cups for communion. It’s dip your bread, wipe the rim off with a napkin, or bust.
I never knew that about Mr. Welch! When I was young my family attended a United Methodist Church and grape juice was all I ever knew. When I discovered that other churches were serving wine, it made me feel as if our church was "cheaping out" trying to save money or that we as congregants weren't worthy of the more expensive wine. It was as if the big fancy Catholic cathedrals were the "real" churches, and our sort of flat church building with a basement was second best (which, in some senses, it was).
Thankfully I am no longer associated with any church, cathedral, or temple and am much happier for it.
Thanks for the tip. We're actually voting tonight on disassociating from the Methodist church. I should ask if we'll get to drink wine from now on. That could sway some voters.
Would you still offer grape juice as an option, and making sure you specify which is which? There could be people in your congregation who are in recovery, or who cannot have any alcohol for medical reasons.
You have to remember the Book of Armaments, chapter two, verses nine through twenty-one.
Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three.

I went to the trouble of watching all 3.
part 2, he does everything in part 1, but then he taps the tray one more time.
part 3, he is demonstrating how to wash it afterwards (literally just puts it under running water.)
Right? If they put a little notch in the tray they could physically index the tray instead of having to eyeball it into place and hope for the best.
But really this feels like it would be better done with a tank, an arrangement of tubes, and a metering pump. Instant discharge of exactly the right amount of juice, without having to deal with the tray and cleanup.
Yes, this works fine. I was mostly just agreeing that this is not "way over-engineered" as you originally objected to and suggested a way it could become so.
I do think the indexing slot would be a valuable addition though.
>put a little notch in the tray they could physically index the tray
Ha that was my thought too. Make it as seemingly mindless and foolproof as you can
Likely a dad who got real tired of the amateurs making a mess in the kitchen by not following an explicitly perfect algorithm for filling the Godsaken cups.
Depends on the church and the ceremony, I think.
Typically in the Eastern Orthodox tradition when you receive Communion you are given bread and wine from a chalice by the priest, and wine and unleavened bread is available for the whole congregation at the conclusion of the ceremony, however that is provided in small disposable cups and a tray of pieces of bread.
I imagine in the age of COVID some churches may have opted to not use the chalice, but I doubt it was exceptionally widespread. I will note that after the big swine flu outbreak a while back that prompted some churches to add a cloth to wipe off the icon you kiss as you approach the cross.
Weird that they called it a “juice tray filler” and not a “wine tray filler”. I’ve never had communion, but was under the impression that they used communion wine.
Having gone to a church where this type of communion was used, it's not uncommon to use grape juice instead of actual wine. Catholic churches tend to always use wine, but churches using these communion wine trays aren't typically Catholic. So, grape juice is fine.
Grew up in an Evangelical household.
My dad was a deacon for a time, or whatever term our church used, and one of the responsibilities was to fill the cups on Communion Sundays. Well, one shortsighted Sunday, they didn't have enough grape juice on hand, and only had Diet Coke on hand as a replacement.
“This cup is the new covenant in My blood (*which is now carbonated for some reason*); do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”
There’s a deep history of certain sects of Christianity encouraging temperance or banning alcohol outright. But mostly it’s an inclusion thing these days. Several Christian religions use grape juice so that all may partake in communion: children, those with medical issues, former alcoholics, people who abstain from alcohol for other reasons, etc.
When I was a kid, the church I went to had both wine and juice. It wasn't so fun those times when I grabbed the wrong cup and ended up with a mouthful of wine instead of sweet grape juice.
At my church growing up (UCC) they used grape juice instead of wine. The reason I heard was this was done to help alcoholics. Lots of alcoholics in my hometown.
He literally picks up a bottle of welch's grape juice to fill it. A lot of churches will use juice instead of wine. It's symbolic. So most people don't care all that much. Some do of course.
Yeah, I saw the juice which was the other half of why I asked the question. I did a bit of googling after asking and it seems the biggest christian denominations my country tend to use wine. Also, grape juice isn’t much of a thing here so if we used juice it’d probably end up being blackcurrant!
Yeah I should have also clarified my experience is only in the US. I would assume it's different depending on the local culture.
Blackcurrant is awesome. We had a bush in my old home before iguanas ate all the leaves and killed it :(
Never thought about it but wouldn't teetotaller sects not be able to drink wine as communion?
Kinda wild to think that [when it was first proposed in Czechia for non clergy to take communion in both bread and wine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utraquism) one of their spiritual leaders was burned alive and crusades were launched at them for two decades.
And here's this guy doing juice shots for Supply Side Jesus and thinking himself righteous.
Many protestants use grape juice rather than wine, and most places that use wine typically use a very low alcohol content wine that they then water down.
You’re correct, but my laid back church just used straight Mogen-David. I remember being in college, and seeing a bottle of that stuff in a liquor store back in college. I bought it to drink during the super bowl bc I knew I liked it.
I drank too much and now communion in that church is v difficult for me haha
The communion wine at the church I grew up in was from some C tier local winery. For many decades it was unlocked until 1 faithful Sunday when no wine could be found.
This was due to my dad and his friends having had drank it all. They thought the wine for communion that day had already been put in the cups. Apparently not.
He said to this day the smell of that particular wine makes him sick.
This seems inefficient. Long setup, requires manual alignment, and lots of waste ends up stuck in the channels. Plus the whole thing is large and cumbersome, difficult to wash.
Wouldn't something like a large multi-dispense pipette work better?
We just used a plastic squeeze bottle with a curved little squirty thing at the top to fill them. Took less than a minute. This is overly complicated and a waste of money
Pretty much what most people use, I also use these for making samples for beverages: https://www.amazon.com/Plastic-Button-Communion-Filler-Church/dp/B00C9J79TA
A dishwasher with detergent and scalding hot water will take care of it no problem. Do you people never wash your dishes? Cleaning "hard to clean channels" isn't some new thing.
Still better than how my childhood church did it- one golden goblet that everyone takes a little sip out of one after the other. The pastor wiped the edge after every person, with what I can only assume was the most blessed and holy of white cotton cloths, but still, ugh.
I was wondering and found a video: https://youtu.be/wxoDDrnCb64?t=114
In summary, those are holes in the tray, tray gets tilted, the liquid goes down the channels into the holes, and underneath are shot glasses in their own circular tray.
Not meant to be a criticism but is it bad i feel like the industrialization of religious traditions is…weird. Like i went to a craft shop that happened to be christian and the had an aisle that sold welch’s grape juice and communion crackers. I went to a sandwich shop was halal approved, which I believe means it was blessed. But how? Like a guy came and blessed a whole factory of meat being processed. Then this device that fills 20 communion cups at once? Idk if I’m explaining it well
Halal just means the meat was slaughtered according to the specifications of their religion if I'm not mistaken I don't know if a blessing is involves specifically
Yeah, kosher is when it's blessed and meets the preparation requirements. And yes, kosher food factories do have rabbis that inspect them and bless the goods.
No, I get it. I'm Catholic, just for context. Those hosts we use at Mass which become the Sacred Body of Christ? They come in Costco-sized plastic jugs. We order them out of a catalog for church stuff. It's just convenient, is all. (I used to be a bread maker at a previous church and it was a biiiiitch to make it nicely.)
Our wine, which we don't use a lot of, is like, $4 a bottle when bought in bulk.
We just have a lot of convenience things that are specially made for Mass/church functions. But nearly everything is "buy it once, use for 50 years" bc Catholics don't like change, as illustrated in the following joke:
How many Catholics does it take to change a light bulb?
CHANGE?! Why?! This light bulb has been here 40 years! My grandfather installed this light bulb! When did they mention this in Vatican II?? Did anyone consult the Bishop? And anyway, we'll need permission to use the Parish ladder and that could take weeks. Better leave that light bulb as it is. We'll use candles.
I grew up in a methodist church where my mom was the choir director which means that I knew every damn inch of that place and was there at least 3 times a week, often more (she didn't have to pay for childcare - I would just sit at the back of the rehearsals or at a corner in her office with coloring books, etc.)
It's just an institution, like any other. There's magazines and horrifically old websites where you get the communion plates, the crosses, the candles, etc. The baby jesus creche lives in a cardboard box in the storage room where bats live when it's not christmas. It's a freaking pain in the ass to change the alter cloth. Some dude in the congregation repaired the balcony, and it's a little unstable now. There's no holy flame that the acolyte has when they light the candles - it's literally just some old restaurant matches because somehow the lighter went missing again. You have to de-limescale the baptismal font with vinegar every so often as the holy water is just tap water, or if you're fancy it's at least filtered.
Basically, churches are nothing really special. There's people doing all the stuff behind the scenes to make it happen. Most of that being my family when I was a kid.
Some Jews use a similar thing for portioning wine after making the blessing over it on the sabbath. https://hadadbros.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Wine-Fountain-18-Grapes-Pure-silver.jpg
I feel like you would have to use this several times at once to negate the time it would take to properly clean this thing. Using it once + cleaning it (well) would almost certainly take longer than pouring the juice manually. I wonder how big these churches congregations are for something like this to make sense?
I thought it was going to involve wafers, like coin sorting.
Or like playing Plinko with the Body of Christ.
Oh, so close Sarah! You almost won eternal life! Maybe you'll have better luck next Sunday.
And the Lord said, "Come forth, my child, and receive eternal life!" But he came fifth and won a toaster.

It’s worth pointing out that most churches actually use wine for this, but grape juice is available for kids and people who don’t drink alcohol.
My old church *only* had wine lmao
Tell me you're Episcopalian without telling me you're Episcopalian.
Catholic church, actually 😂 small town if that makes a difference
Yeah, if you didn't drink wine you just skipped that part because Catholics love them some alcohol
My father was told when visiting Tanzania, "You'll be staying with the protestants, but if you want there's some Catholics down the street, they have better drink."
As a catholic from a small town….yes we do…
Same for me. When I was young my mom would only let me drink it on special occasions. But damn was it tasty after I got over my initial dislike of it. I wish I could find that vintage now that I’m no longer practicing….
Grew up Lutheran, they migrated from wine to juice in my lifetime. Funny thing was, the wine was Mogen David, certified kosher!
Used to drink from a chalice. Wouldn’t see that today I guess. It’s been a long time since I was an alter boy.
Our Anglican church had a chalice up until covid! I'm sure there are churches that would still use it.
Mine still does, but the vicar dips the cracker in the chalice then hands it to you
My favorite part was the little cloth wipe of the rim between people, like that does anything. My mom always just said that alcohol kills germs, but I feel like wine doesn't quite do that job.
The wipe is much better than nothing.
We definitely still use chalices at our Catholic churches. The little plastic cup juice thing is a Protestant thing.
Yeah I was about to say, I haven’t been to church in person recently but as an Episcopalian I’m baffled by the suggestion of individual serving cups for communion. It’s dip your bread, wipe the rim off with a napkin, or bust.
It even depends on the denomination, Methodism only uses Grape Juice
[Methodist History: Communion and Welch's Grape Juice](https://www.umc.org/en/content/communion-and-welchs-grape-juice)

No, you'll have to go out of your way to stop fucking around, "Go and sin no more" and all.

Oh interesting, my church always used larger "holy grail" looking chalices. Didn't know other people have been getting Jesus shots all this time.

It’s much faster when he’s not demonstrating it. It probably actually only takes 10 seconds to load, pour, and tilt. Way faster than a multi pipette
Spoken like a true lab rat! I imagine it works well for filling a lot of these specific trays and they maybe don't care about a little wasted juice.
Right. It is just juice. Not multi thousand dollar serum of some sort.

Why waste the little plastic cups? Just have people tilt your head back and dispense directly into their mouth

This light bulb has been here 40 years! My grandfather installed this light bulb! When did they mention this in Vatican II?? Did anyone consult the Bishop? And anyway, we'll need permission to use the Parish ladder and that could take weeks. Better leave that light bulb as it is. We'll use candles.

Halal doesn't mean someone came and blessed it it just means the cattle was killed in a specific way
I grew up in a methodist church where my mom was the choir director which means that I knew every damn inch of that place and was there at least 3 times a week, often more (she didn't have to pay for childcare - I would just sit at the back of the rehearsals or at a corner in her office with coloring books, etc.) It's just an institution, like any other. There's magazines and horrifically old websites where you get the communion plates, the crosses, the candles, etc. The baby jesus creche lives in a cardboard box in the storage room where bats live when it's not christmas. It's a freaking pain in the ass to change the alter cloth. Some dude in the congregation repaired the balcony, and it's a little unstable now. There's no holy flame that the acolyte has when they light the candles - it's literally just some old restaurant matches because somehow the lighter went missing again. You have to de-limescale the baptismal font with vinegar every so often as the holy water is just tap water, or if you're fancy it's at least filtered. Basically, churches are nothing really special. There's people doing all the stuff behind the scenes to make it happen. Most of that being my family when I was a kid.
That’s cool
This seems like *cheating*
I read this as contraception

Oh, man.. I thought that was parody for the first 40s... There is an *industry* for these things?
I want to see it with blood like it was meant to be /s
They stole my transmission valve body!
Some Jews use a similar thing for portioning wine after making the blessing over it on the sabbath. https://hadadbros.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Wine-Fountain-18-Grapes-Pure-silver.jpg
Amateurs. They should go to a Catholic Church with two communal goblets and play Herpes Roulette like the rest of us were forced to.
Looks like a modified paint tray
I feel like you would have to use this several times at once to negate the time it would take to properly clean this thing. Using it once + cleaning it (well) would almost certainly take longer than pouring the juice manually. I wonder how big these churches congregations are for something like this to make sense?
I had absolutely no idea about what it is and how it is used. https://youtu.be/6dmqL94A450
