But always Welch’s Grape Juice, since we were Methodist. Charles Welch invented pasteurized grape juice specifically for his Methodist congregation to have an alcohol-free communion wine.
Presbyterian in my youth, same story, croutons and Welsh’s. Loved the tiny, fluted shot glasses! Heavy bottoms, carried in 2-layer wood platters, bottom lined with green felt. Just checked my wife’s monster shot glass collection, only one similar, way bigger.
Funny enough, I checked last night to see if the church was still around. I think it is? Hard to tell. I should write, tell them I grew up there and beg for a shot glass. Ya know, for “religious” reasons.
My church was on the other side of town, “across the tracks” so to speak. Nothing but old people and two kids my age. There was a nice Methodist church down our street, tons of kids, plenty of cute girls, but no was couldn’t go there. :(
We had awful chalk-based bread growing up.

In the case of the bready Jeebus story above, I believe they used Sqwelch’s Grape Preserves for the filling. 😜
