The story was that my husband and I drove to Iowa to get married by Rev. Glenn L. Utterback, just the sweetest man in the whole world. We wanted our first act as a married couple to be taking Communion together. We were standing there and his wife came out with a little tray with two juice glasses with grape juice and some rye bread. He said "My beloved wife prepared this Communion for you two lovers who have come across the miles to the Little Brown Church in the Vale." He proceeded with the "Our Lord on the night He was betrayed, etc." Granted I knew the grape juice with the blood and the rye bread was the body, but the way he put it was so very special. After the wedding, we went to the front of the church and rang the bell.
I want to ring that bell on our 50th.
