WORSHIP IN PRACTICE:
The Practice of Communion
Dear Families,
During the month of November, Worship in Practice will be learning about communion.
At Hunter Presbyterian Church, all baptized children are welcome at the communion table. When children begin taking communion is up to the family's discretion. Some families enjoy communion together as soon as the child is physically able to do so. Other families prefer to wait until the child shows a certain amount of maturity and understanding.
In Worship in Practice, we will be acting out communion every Sunday in November, as a way of experientially understanding this important sacrament. We believe that children learn best by doing: by feeling, tasting, smelling, speaking, and repeating. Children tend to act and reenact moments of importance through play and imaginative thinking. In Worship in Practice, we will introduce communion as acting out the drama of God's love.
On Sunday, December 5, the Worship in Practice children will serve with the support of our elders. We will then, as a class, take communion together. If you do not wish your children to practice or take communion, please speak with Daisy Rhau so that we can make other arrangements.
In Christ,
The Worship in Practice Team
