Communion coming in a little plastic container once a month at the end of church is the dumbest thing Protestants ever came up with

• Doing it once a month makes it feel like it's not a core part of worship. Your baseline church experience is no communion.

• Cramming it in right at the end, when the pastor just got through another long-butt sermon, and you're hungry and just kind of ready to go, never puts me in the right space to appreciate it

• Plastic waste, shitty wafer, little preschool sip of grape juice after an overly long invocation.

• It feels like a mildly annoying surprise, like "oh, I guess church is going to be ten more minutes today, well that's okay I guess, I do love the Lord and all..."

I once belonged to a church that did it every week, with real bread and wine. It felt like a highlight instead of a dragged out afterthought. I always looked forward to it.

If you insist on doing it once a month with lil packaged slop rations, at least do it near the beginning, when it could feel like welcoming/celebrating. Like we're gathering for a holy meal. Don't dump it at the end like "and here's another thing!"

I am aware that I'm a brain rotted r-slur with a blown-out attention span, but I know for a fact that I'm not the only person who ever zones out in church. Don't make your parishioners bored during what is meant to be the central sacrament of Christian worship.
