I used to be an altar girl
I was in charge of the dinner bell (ring every time he touches the big Host, I think I can't remember) and occasionally the ceremonial washing of hands.
The robes were a lot of fun.

It looks like I might be seeing it 3 times this week. Which is a little excessive.

Not much of a dinner.
It should contain large slabs of MEAT. And some green stuff.

aah the bells that get rung 3 times at communion?

( zulu eh?, Tue 7 Sep 2010, 10:22, Reply)

Do this in memory of me.
-dingalingaling-

If only I could remember when to ring them. I seem to remember it's once when he holds up the big Host, once with the wine, and once in the middle of shit when he says somehting important I can't remember.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 7 Sep 2010, 10:27, Reply)

yes thats it
though it should be
dingaling (small pause) dingaling (small pause) dingaling

if my old church was anything to go by
( zulu eh?, Tue 7 Sep 2010, 10:29, Reply)

The bell was odd. It was like 4 small bells stuck together on a sort of one-tiered cakestand affair
It was an IMPORTANT job to do the bells, you had to work upwards. Though the most fun job was blowing out the candles at the end.

i was in the collection crew, 4 of us
would hand out the plates and then make sure no one nabbed the money

as a 10 year old, I often wished I could help myself to the cash
( zulu eh?, Tue 7 Sep 2010, 10:34, Reply)

The bag had a slit in it, rather than being an open plate

You are right about that.

i got made to do the readings from time to time
those long biblical names are a bitch when you are 9, i used to wake up in a cold sweat worrying about how to pronounce things like mesopotamia and phyrgia.

I never had to do readings, thank god.
I kind of miss church now. I enjoyed the singing and the ritual. Though my mum commented that all the standing up, sitting down and kneeling made her really hungry.
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Tue 7 Sep 2010, 10:28, Reply)

That's because your mum was used to putting stuff in her mouth when she knelt.

(PsychoChomp, Tue 7 Sep 2010, 11:15, Reply)

I miss it a bit too
it was kind of enforced quiet time. You tuned out the mass pretty much and could just sit there without any other distractions which is something I don't get much nowadays. Plus the queue for communion was effectively a conveyor belt of talent to ogle.
