Hello Friend!

When people are baptized in the Lutheran church, the congregation promises to do some very special things for the person being baptized.

1. We promise to bring them to worship.
2. We promise to teach them about God.
3. We promise to share the Bible with them.
4. We promise to take care of them and pray for them.

One of the ways the church keeps its promises is by inviting baptized people to come to Christ's table for Holy Communion.  Some churches invite babies.  Some wait until the children are in first grade or fifth grade.  Some churches wait until the children have been confirmed.  There's no right or wrong time to take communion for the first time.  And no matter how old you are, it's good to learn about communion and why we do it.  

Some of the pages on this website will be a part of your Communion Instruction Class. Some of the pages are here for you to explore on your own.  Whichever page you're reading, I hope that you will add your own stories, questions and ideas because your thoughts are as important as anyone else's.
