YOUNG worshippers turned bakers to make the bread for the Eucharist at a church service on Sunday.
They baked the bread on a Baby Belling ring in front of the congregation at St Mary Magdalene Church, Taunton.
The vicar, the Rev Rod Corke, then broke the bread and handed it out to communicants.
The Great Harvest Bake Off fitted in with a Christian Aid initiative supporting a baker called Nyipock in war-torn South Sudan.
Mr Corke said: “I’ve never heard of a church baking its own bread for communion before.
“It resembled an edible rubbery pancake and made the point strongly that bread is the staple diet of the South Sudanese people – without it they starve.
“It made us all think and brought meaning to ‘give us this day our daily bread’.”
