This article is part of the Family Faith Formation Toolkit - a collection of resources for equipping ministry leaders, parents, and caregivers with family faith practices and resources, brought to you by Faith Formation Ministries.

In the following links you’ll find creative resources and practices for communion to use both in community and at home. These ideas can be seamlessly woven into existing church programs and into family life.

Communion: In Community

Lord’s Supper Preparation

Lord’s Supper Practices

Communion: At Home

  • While each child’s developmental path is unique, there are common patterns in how children’s understanding of the Lord’s Supper typically develops. Children and Communion is a free resource that summarizes those patterns from preschool through the teenage years. Families will find it helpful for getting a sense of their child’s understanding of the Lord’s Supper.

  • Take It. Break It. Share It. Love It is a post that provides families with talking points on the topic of communion.

  • The five-session family devotional guide You’re Invited explains what the Lord’s Supper means, and this guide is designed to be used over and over again. Bonus: it includes information just for parents, to help deepen their own understanding of the Lord’s Supper.
