I don't know which services you have attended, but the ones I have attended follow an order of service that has not the slightest hint of the doctrine of transubstantiation. The use of grape juice and ordinary bread seems to be the norm.

True - to an extent. As I understand it, each pastor is given perogative as to the rubrics of their service. Every now and then I have to sit through it at the church where I work. There's no majesty or reverence involved and no logical order. It's all very informal. At least in the NO Mass, there is reverence (hopefully), if nothing else.

If you look at the "book" one would expect something like a low church episcopal service. I have yet to see one (My wife is Methodist, by the way).
