Alexia's First Communion

It is common practice in our church for kids to begin participating in communion during third grade.

Alexia has been waiting for this day for quite some time... and after a couple of meetings with our Pastor and a couple other third graders, her day finally arrived this last Sunday (3/21/2010).

During the service Pastor Kevin called the three third graders up to the alter where he spoke to them and the congregation about 'the whats and the whys' before their first communion.







Once that was completed, Alexia returned to sit with us as they started the regular communion procession. You won't be surprised to know that Alexia joined right in with us to do communion again. Pastor Jennifer had to laugh.

After the service we did a couple mandatory photos.




Thanks, Sue & Steve, for coming up for this event. Thanks also for bringing Aleigh up also. She & Alexia apparently had a lot of catching up to do... conveniently done during Sunday School.
