A US cent weighs exactly 2.5 g, while the nickel weighs exactly 5 g. On the moon, a nickel still weighs 5 g - its mass is unchanged - but in the technical sense of the word it weighs about 49 millinewtons on Earth but only 8 mN on the moon. In everyday use, "weight" is a synonym for "mass." You weigh something to determine its mass, which you call its "weight," measured in grams, kilograms, metric tons, or the like.

For the Catholic church-going SCDers out there, the SCD webmaster agrees with the following answer regarding receiving holy communion: quot;I'm not a Catholic (nor do I play one on TV ), but am Lutheran. I still take communion with the usual unleavened bread and wine. I have faith that God will take care of this small amount of "illegals" - and that the benefit of the Sacrament FAR outweighs the risk from the starch! See similar questions...

John explains that, at the end of the Last Supper, the Lord began to wash the feet of the disciples. After performing this great act of humility, the Lord said, If I then, your Lord and master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done unto you (Jn 13:14-15). Primitive Baptists understand that this commandment is to be followed in literal detail as well as in spirit.

We usually celebrate Communion by "intinction". The ushers direct people up the center aisle, where the communion servers hold the bread and "wine" (grape juice). Each person breaks off a piece of the bread and dips it in the grape juice and eats it. You may choose to kneel and pray at the prayer rails. Afterwards you return to your seat by the side aisle.

Mechanisms for observing communion are different at many churches. At Ironbridge, our team of Deacon Ministers will take the bread and cup and serve it to each row in the sanctuary. This is a beautiful illustration of Acts Chapter 6: Brothers, choose seven men from among you who are known to be full of the Spirit and wisdom. We will turn this responsibility over to them and will give our attention to prayer and the ministry of the word." (Acts 6:3-4) See similar questions...

Lately, we have favored the intinction style of communion, whereby a person walks to the front or back of the sanctuary and takes a small piece of bread and dips it into the cup of grape juice.
