I shared this part with a friend. S...Thanks, Pat. I shared this part with a friend. She and I agree with you wholeheartedly:<br /><br />"We don’t withhold communion until our children understand it because, for one thing, none of us on this side of heaven fully understands it. And, to use another analogy, we don’t withhold food until babies understand nutrition. The grace we receive at Lord’s Supper — the entirely free gift of God’s presence — doesn’t depend upon our understanding, thanks be to God, any more than the grace we receive at baptism depends on it. This table is about God’s grace, the grace that promises abundant life."Bonnie Jacobshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07813549471704485150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4513307122126589431.post-92103780863701532332013-08-05T09:16:16.064-04:002013-08-05T09:16:16.064-04:00Thanks so much Terri!Thanks so much Terri!Rev.
