Communion Vessels
A plate and cup represent the bread and cup shared at the Lord's Supper. PC(USA) guidance allows a common cup, several shared cups, individual cups, or dipping bread into the cup; this vessel design is illustrative.
Key points
- The vessels serve the church's sharing of bread and cup.
- Look for: A plate and cup on the Communion table.
- An illustrative Reformed / Presbyterian interior drawing on Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) resources. Reformed churches differ in their confession, music, Communion practice, imagery, and room arrangement. The simple furnishings and central pulpit represent one example.
- The worship leaders and Communion area are at the top of this study plan. The model's front is a viewing direction rather than a required compass orientation. Furniture positions and building plans vary by congregation. The drawing is schematic: object sizes, materials, decorative details, and exact coordinates are illustrative rather than surveyed measurements or denominational requirements.
