The Central Florida DAG has been preparing the wafers for distribution at the Drive-Thru each week. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are fortunate to have a nice kitchen at our church where we prepare the wafers according to the example provided in a video by our Bishop (see directions below). Two or three altar guild members don masks and gloves and work each week to be sure there are enough wafers. The Deacons and Priests distribute the wafers using tongs and say prayers with each car that comes to the Drive-Thru.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1\u2014Spread out clean white towels on the kitchen counters and place the wafers in neat rows <\/p>\n\n\n\n
2\u2014Take a small piece of a priests\u2019 host and dip it into a small dish containing Red Port Wine and make a wine \u201ccross\u201d on each wafer. The dark red wine shows up nicely on the wafers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
3\u2014Let the wine on the wafers dry completely \u2013 about an hour or slightly more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
4\u2014While the wafers are drying, take a break and sit down and open square snack size zip lock bags (still wearing our masks and gloves) and put them in a large bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
5\u2014When the wine is completely dry on the wafers, put one wafer in each of the zip lock bags, seal them tightly and put them all in the large bowl. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
6\u2014Cover the bowl with plastic wrap so the wafers will not blow away during the Drive-Thru and put a note on top that the wafers have not been blessed; the wafers are blessed at the weekly Saturday night service so they will be ready for distribution on Sunday morning. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
