Is there any biblical instructions about who should prepare the Lord’s table? Where the elements should be prepared? Who should give thanks? Who is to get the leftovers?

QUESTION: Is there any biblical instructions about who should prepare the Lord’s table? Where the elements should be prepared? Who should give thanks? Who is to get the leftovers?

ANSWER: No! Except in the case of giving thanks. This is limited only to Christian men (1 Timothy 2: 12), unless there are none present. In determining the other matters contained in the question, we should always remember the exhortation of Paul in Romans 14:19, “Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another.”
