When is my child ready to take Communion?
To tell when your child is ready to receive Communion, look for these three primary things:
1. The child has the desire,
2. The child has a fundamental understanding of what Communion is
3. You, as their parents, are ready to bring them to receive Communion.
The Pastor will usually meet the child and their families in classes to talk about Communion as the gift of God’s promise and the meaning of thanksgiving. There are specific Communion classes offered for 5th graders in Sunday School and for all at the commencement of Lent (the six week period prior to Easter Sunday).
