Might need to tread with caution here, as our policy in preaching and worship classes has always been and still is to only award credit for fresh work that may then be taken out into the churches (e.g., not give credit for sermons preached two years ago); in other words, credit is a one-way street, outbound. With that said, every once in a while, I get to see videos of students doing ministry in churches they are serving "for real," albeit as CRE/student pastors, but no mere dress rehearsal. Just saw a wonderful view of a service led by one of our upcoming graduates, where (as CRE) was allowed to do communion. It was her farewell service before she ended that chapter of her ministry, and it was awesome; communion by intinction up the aisle: "Connecting/reaching those spiritually and physically hungry," indeed.

Sacrament begins at 56:00-ish. Make sure to watch her words before the benediction at the end.
