  1. That is the design of the non-disposable, glass communion cups in the Congregationalist church where I grew up!

  2. Ha! I wonder how widespread they were? Never thought to wonder how similar/different they were.

  3. Is that large cup intended for “one-cup” congregations? We speculated about having to go that route when the PO was slow delivering our new order of disposable cups.

  4. I was talking to someone about these older style cups just yestarday. He was saying the glass cups were washed every week by a different family and that when you partook of the water it was almost like drinking from a shot glass

  5. Mark B. I looked at the “large” cup differently — I think it’s just a closer look at one of the small cups that are in the tray.

  6. I think Mark is thirsty — very, very thirsty. That cup is like a mirage on the desert, Mike.

    But cameron, I’m sure NOBODY would be familiar with a shot glass! 😉

  7. My paternal grandmother converted in her teens and came from Holland to Utah to live. Here she married my paternal grandfather, a non-member, and then she apparently became rancorous toward the church. My father, the ninth of eleven children, never got baptized. He always told me and my siblings about his friends breaking into a chapel and stealing a tray of cups like that (well, of glass cups anyway) and taking them to break upon the rocks of the nearby Weber River. He was always a bit reluctant to admit direct participation in the enterprise, always making it seem like he just witnessed it.

  9. It was a lot harder to pass those round trays down the bench without spilling the contents. A small tilt usually produced a small splash. In the Congregational Church, those cups held grape juice, which was likely to stain little Sunday- best dresses. Communion was only once a month, not every week, but I remember Mom being anxious about us staining our dresses. She relaxed a lot when my sister & I became acolytes, because we had the robe over our dresses, even if there was a spill. Also, if you look closely, there is not a protective reservoir under the cups, like there is in the trays currently used, which both catches & contains any spilled water.
