Communion Vessels
A plate and cup represent the elements shared at Communion. This model illustrates one way of preparing the meal; distribution methods, vessels, and Communion teaching differ among large churches.
Key points
- The vessels serve the church's sharing of bread and cup.
- Look for: A plate and cup on the side table.
- An illustrative contemporary evangelical auditorium. Mega Church describes a large congregation and its building context, not a separate denomination: megachurches span Protestant traditions. Hartford research generally uses weekly worship attendance of 2,000 or more, across all locations, together with congregational characteristics. The balcony, seating blocks, platform, and equipment are illustrative choices rather than features required of every megachurch.
- The worship platform is at the top of this study plan. Front describes a viewing direction rather than a required compass orientation. The simplified seating represents an auditorium arrangement rather than an exact scale or attendance capacity. The drawing is schematic: object sizes, materials, decorative details, and exact coordinates are illustrative rather than surveyed measurements or denominational requirements.
