This morning was my first Communion service at the Baptist church I currently attend. I knew most, if not all, Baptists used grape juice instead of wine, but I'd never heard of any church using white grape juice as was done today. I've looked online to see if I could find a reason for it, and so far the only thing I found was to keep someone from accidentally taking wine? I don't understand that. To be honest, I felt it more 'authentic' in a liturgical service with real red wine when I was visiting Anglican and Lutheran services. I find only "red wine" in the Scriptures and it seems natural to represent blood. Anyone else encountered white grape juice or wine for the Lord's Supper, or know the reason for it?
