Girl's communion not valid, according to church

[aurora_borealis]

At the last big church gathering I attended we had a garlic herb dinner rolls and sparking wine for the communion at the Young Adults service. For germ reasons I dip my "body" into the common cup instead of drinking from it. The sparkling wine fizzed over when I dipped my garlic herb Jesus into it. Somehow we also set the cross on fire and made a joke that it was a sign from God to be Mothodists instead of Lutherans.

My church offers grape juice and wine, and the bread varies. We have a hippy heath food Co-Op in town and could easily get wheat free bread there if needed, and most people would never notice. The first time I had communion the wafer got stuck to the roof of my mouth, very upsetting.

aephialum- we've had challah before at my home church. We rent space to a group that are Christian Jews, so when we combine worship that's what we use.

ETA: After church we have a coffee/fellowship hour, any leftover Jesus is brought down and put on the table with the cookies and sandwiches. Yeah, I've had a ham & cheese on Jesus before.
