Whether or not they partake in Communion, they can begin the discipline of remembering what Christ did on their behalf.
First, remind your child of your expectations for him during Communion.
In the back of Sermon Notes for Kids there is a Communion guide. This is not for note taking purposes but rather to provide direction for your child's thoughts during Communion. It contains 3 sections:
1) Remembering - Listed are some suggested passages of Scripture recounting Jesus' last supper, death, burial, and resurrection.
The passages listed are long. It might be helpful to shorten the reading by underlining in your child's Bible the specific verses you want him to read.
2) Confession - A verse is provided that your child can pray to help keep his heart in right standing with God.
3) Praise - Suggested chapters of the Psalms for praise and worship.
Sermon Notes for Kids also provides a page for you to list your own thought prompts or Scripture references for your child.
Another great option is to model prayer by pulling your child close and whispering a prayer for and with your child.
Communion is an awesome privilege! Use it to point your child to the grace and mercy of Christ that each of us needs, but none deserve. Don't miss this opportunity!
