Children vary in their readiness for communion. Around the age of 7-8 years old, your child may be asking the following questions:
*Is the child asking questions about Holy Communion?
*Is there a verbal desire being expressed to receive communion?
*Does the child participate in the worship service? (sings along in worship, says the Lord's prayer, and the Apostles Creed...)
*Does the child talk about feeling left out when other family members commune?
*Does the child understand being wrong and being forgiven?
At St. Philip’s when your child is in 2nd grade, they will attend our First Communion Classes.
Classes this year will be on Thursday evenings, March 7th and March 14th. Beginning at 6:30 pm in the Youth Room.
Children will receive their First Communion on Maundy Thursday, March 28th at the 6 pm worship service.
