My husband and I are going to have a night with some great friends and our pastor who has moved on to other purposes from God. We are going to do communion, read some scripture, maybe sing some songs and just have wonderful conversation and praying! So glad to of found this recipe and the details of exactly how to make it...this is my first time ever attempting anything like this :) Thank you!

I asked several people through the years and have never received a recipe. There's something very humbling that occurs when I think of Jesus trying to teach His disciples to serve and to LOVE one another...He is our example...let's strive to be like Him & pray earnestly..especially before we read His word... Does anyone have an oatmeal patty recipe? One of my past Pastor's wife use to make some and they were wonderful. I haven't been able to find one equivalent.

I am doing some research on how to make the Communion Bread. I want to do my very best for my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Thank you for this recipe, and thanks to everyone for their Biblical commentary! It's been quite helpful and interesting!I especially like how people talk of making it to eat at home with their families, aside from Communion. I was under the impression that it should only ever be made for the sacred ceremony. May God bless you and us all! 4ever. I recently became a Deaconess, and I am very excited!

They reminded me of a United Methodist communion I attended one time (I'm a Cooperative Baptist/Disciples of Christ hybrid). After the bread (baked by the minister) and "wine" (grape juice) had been passed, and the service was over, the minister looked at all that leftover bread and he said, "Help yourself - there's plenty more," and everyone had a healthy helping of wonderful whole wheat bread. It was surprising and I can see how it could be shocking to some, but rather than trivializing the Lord's Supper, for me it had the opposite effect: it sanctified the very act of sharing food, of eating together. Thanks again. Thank you for your recipe for communion bread and for your comments as well.

Jesus said very "planly do this in rememberance of me as often as you do it" I endeaver to do it everyday as I need Him at the forefront of everyday. that the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to HIM!

I liked the flavor but it did come out rather hard. Then I lost interest and yesterday during the church communion the taste of that SDA style bread reawakened my desire to do it at home again. This time I payed greater attention to your instructions and noticed that I was kneading the dough for too long allowing time for gluten chains to form causing the bread to become to hard. It must have been the lack of the sense of urgency that Israelites had that caused me to keep kneading the dough :-) In a couple of hours I will taste it again.

I don't have any objection, as a sincere Adventists, to the discussion posts (except that I think the "pork oil" comment was made tongue in cheek!). I think the writers are all sinecre and are trying to find truth. I personally have a traditional view -- I think the symbols should be taken with respect and reverence, and the left-over symbols should be disposed of similarly after the ceremony. I have married an Episcopalian, whose mother is a Baptist, and I have to chuckle -- when we attend an Episcopal communion I take the bread (unleavened) but not the wine (fermented). When we attend the Baptist service, I take the wine (unfermented) and leave the bread (white Wonder bread -- yuk!!!!). I wouldn't even eat the white bread at home, let alone think it is a fitting symbol of our Lord's body! However we all are God's children and should respect each other's commitment. We're all on a journey upwards and some are in different rungs of the ladder. Hello,

I would just like to share a thought with you all. I will get the text later but before the fall of man, all was perfect. After the fall of man Sin was represented in many things for ex. Adam and Eves Nakedness Gen Chapter 3 the ground was cursed for mans sake. Until then nothing died or rotted. Fermentation (Alcoholic wine)is the rotting of grape juice, it should never be used to represent the pure sinless blood of Christ. Also yeast does its work through fermentation (sin). # Exodus 12:20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread. Exodus 12:19-21 (in Context) Exodus 12 (Whole Chapter) # Exodus 12:34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.

Exodus 12:38-40 (in Context) Exodus 12 (Whole Chapter) # Exodus 13:3 And Moses said unto the people, Remember this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, out of the house of bondage; for by strength of hand the LORD brought you out from this place: there shall no leavened bread be eaten. Exodus 13:2-4 (in Context) Exodus 13 (Whole Chapter) # Exodus 13:7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days; and there shall no leavened bread be seen with thee, neither shall there be leaven seen with thee in all thy quarters.
