Do all churches celebrate communion in the same order (bread-first, wine-second)?
score:6
It appear that you have technically answered your own question by reminiscing to your Baptist days when you received wine first and then bread, so no, not all churches celebrate communion in the same order.
I think a deeper question would be whether any churches establish as doctrine the order of the elements. I am not aware of any that do, but there is always a chance that a group on the fringes has elevated this issue above others.
I think more likely if any churches have an official position on the order of the element it's most likely to establish consistency in the order of liturgy, rather than for some doctrinal reason. In general, most churches receive either the elements simultaneously or bread first, wine second to follow the order of 1 Cor 11. Since it is most natural to read this passage during liturgy, it is most natural to receive the elements in this order.

If this was a Passover seder, then the wine would have been FIRST, as is evident in Luke. Always the blessing of the wine is first, THEN the blessing of the bread. To me, it is but one more way the church has attempted to avoid "anything Jewish", and distance itself from the original setting of this event. In our home group, when we do communion, it is done in the order found in LUKE.

The cup of blessing which we bless, is it not the communion of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the communion of the body of Christ? (1 Corinthians 10:16)
The order of the bread and wine is not of the greatest importance - and in the quotation above Paul reverses the way it is normally done.

The Body of Christ first. Then the Blood of Christ. It is his BLOOD freely given up that He Christ gave. We are saved by his Blood sacrifice. As in Jewish law! The Blood! Fr. Goad Tucson AZ
