Four of our children participated in a First Communion Workshop in preparation of celebrating their First Communion. The workshop was led by Pastor Albert and Elder Kelly. Various activities and crafts helped the children in gaining a better understanding of the sacraments of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. It was explained to them that just like water washed the red paint from their hands, the blood of Jesus washes our sins away. They each made a memory shell to remind them of their own baptism and that they are God’s children and belong to his family. They also decorated a cross to help them remember Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross for them. They further listened to the stories of Jesus’ baptism and his institution of the Lord’s Supper as described in Scripture and how the bread an juice represent Jesus’ body and blood. In addition to the workshop, the parents and children have been doing some lessons at home. God willing, the children will be celebrating their First Communion on May 1.
