  I can't find any scripture reference where any Apostle, or Paul, actually presided at a 'Eucharist'; though Paul's epistles do indicate that Christian communities were doing them. Christ's command to 'do THIS in memory of me', I take to be a command to his followers, what came to be called his 'church'. There weren't any 'priests' for quite a few years. Everyone was just a 'Christian' - a 'lay' person, since the whole separation of people into 'cleric' and 'lay' came about centuries later.
