My First Holy Communion

Overview

The participation of children in receiving Holy Communion is at the
discretion of parents who have the ultimate responsibility in the
spiritual upbringing of their children. Parents may determine a child is
ready for Holy Communion when the child expresses interest in it and
has the ability to understand the importance of it as well as the
reverence required to receive it.

There are many books and resources for preparing the children in the
Roman Catholic faith for receiving their first Holy Communion.
However, after much research, this author could find nothing on the
market that offered a non-denominational approach to such
preparation. Since many Protestants do desire to formally prepare
their children for this most important gift of our Lord Jesus Christ, I
prayerfully set out to create such a program that encompasses
everything children should understand about our Lord prior to their
reception of Him during Communion.

Through the Bible verses, lessons, and activities in this program,
children will learn and understand that the Lord’s Supper is an act of
remembrance, celebration, and wonderful anticipation of Jesus
coming again. They will learn they must be reverent and of clean
mind and heart to receive the Lord’s Supper. They will learn that
Jesus is always with us in spirit and is ever present at His Supper.
Above all, children will learn to receive Him with faith and devotion
and thankfulness.

The activities in this program include memorizing Bible verses, quizzes,
puzzles, color pages, and a road map to heaven that they work on after
each lesson. All clipart - in full color - for the road map is included
right in the book. There is also a bookmark that is a culmination of
everything learned in the program to be used in the child's Bible.
Children get excited about Communion with this program!
