1 Corinthians 11:17-33

Growing up I went to a church called "Christian reformed Church." When we would take communion (they only did it a few times a year) everyone would hold the bread and hold the juice, and then they would take it together. I don't know if they did it because of this verse or not, but I think this verse should make us think. Should we take communion as one, or should we take it separately like we do? How did they seem to do it back when Paul was writing this?
