Jacob at the Catholic Church
The day after Halloween was Sunday. Jacob stayed at a friend's house overnight and was going to church with him - Catholic church. Jacob had never been to a Catholic service before, since, obviously...we are not Catholic. As he was walking in with his friend's family, they were asked by the priest to bring the bread and wine and other things to the front. So on his first time to the church, he was bringing up the wine. He had no idea what to do with it, so he followed in his friend's steps and handed it to the priest. Then his friend elbowed him, and said he had to bow. Then Jacob took communion there. Now, he has taken communion at our church many times so he knew what he was doing. I just don't think he knew LITERALLY what it meant. First off, he had to drink out of the same cup as everyone else. ICKY. But what really threw him off balance (no pun intended) was that the "juice" was really wine! He said it was so disgusting, and he told his friend's mom that he is "NEVER, EVER going to drink wine or beer. Ever." I'm putting this here so that one day I can remind him of this. The last thing he said was that the priest sang everything. Including the announcements. Now, I'm not sure if that is total truth or teenage exaggeration, but wither way it is kinda weird.
