Like hermetically sealed packets of grape juice and crackers! No danger of getting icky germs from your fellow Christians!Celebration Cup Communion Set
Each set includes an unleavened wafer and cup of juice, separated by air-tight seals.
Seriously, even at my most satirical I couldn't make stuff like this up...

I can't touch it dude...ridiculous
Not at all! Just think, you could bless one of these packages and mail it with a DVD of a sermon and a choir singing some hymns and skip coming to church at all. Of course you would need to send in your "tithe". Perhaps you could PayPal it?
You could dump one of those in your coffee before Sunday School. Do they come in hazelnut?
Yes, but are they organic?
Okay, I admit that on the surface it can look a little ridiculous, and maybe I'm just not satirical/sarcastic enough to enjoy this type of post, but come on.... Just because you don't need this doesn't mean it isn't a good thing. Maybe you'll think about it a little differently when you start spending a lot of time with people in nursing homes, assisted living facilities, jails, hospitals, etc., who would like to take communion with another believer.
(I used to have a friend who carried something similar to this in his car so that when he stopped and visited home-bound elderly people they could share communion together.)
I think this product is proof that the church at large does not understand communion. I no longer believe that communion is about the bread and the wine alone. I believe when Jesus said "do this in remembrance of me" he meant the meal as a whole. There is something about literally breaking bread and sitting down to eat a meal together that is powerful. I can not claim to fully understand it, but its just powerful. I NEVER got that from the juice and wafer. Even if you assume my belief to be correct, it doesn't make this product evil, I just see it as being misguided, personally.
