Once or twice a year, our church offers a class for kids to learn about taking communion, then they do a little blessing during the church service and the kids get to take their first communion. We went ahead and did that class with the kids on October 30th, so they had their first communion last Sunday, the 6th! We talked about it several times during the week, so I think they understood what was happening as best as they could. They got a little olivewood chalice that they got to use for their first time and a little commemorative box to decorate to remind them of their first communion. Xander drew pictures all over it of him taking communion. Grace wrote "Jesus and God together" on hers and Will drew a chalice and loaf of bread. They seem very grown up now, the time is flying by (less than 2 months until they turn six!!!) I'm very proud of them!!
