Well, I've seen the table "fenced" in two ways in the reformed churches I've been a member in. One was to have only those whom the session approved to be allowed to partake (which didn't necessarily require membership in our particular church, but membership in another reformed church or someone in the process of membership at our church was also allowed.) The second was to fence the table only verbally from the pulpit with a warning not to partake unworthily. I still hesitate to decide either way which one is the right mode.
