Holy Communion is one of two sacraments in the United Methodist Church.
While we believe the table is open for all who follow Christ, we feel that 3rd
grade is the perfect age developmentally for children to begin to partake. If
parents choose, they may wait for this event before their child to participates
in Communion, and before this event they may bring their children forward to
receive a blessing.
On a Friday night during Lent, 3rd graders and their parents learn all about this
sacrament through a series of dramas that reeanct the first Passover, a Jewish
Seder Meal, and the Last Supper. This dramatic look back at the history of the sacrament of Communion is
powerful; parents and kids gain a whole new perspective on what Jesus did for them.
The following Sunday, the children attend one of the worship services with their
family to take Communion, many for the first time.
