A good Sunday School lesson is storytelling at its best. This fall the Grace Church Sunday School began with a series of lessons on communion. The first lesson was the story of the Last Supper, which is when Jesus instituted the sacrament of communion. Students sat on the floor around a table that was set for a simple Passover meal, complete with pita bread, salted celery sticks, parsley, and grape juice.
The second lesson featured baking bread for communion.
We started with bags pre-filled with basic ingredients, and we worked the bags till the ingredients were mixed and we had the basic dough.
Then we dumped the dough onto a floured surface and kept kneading and adding flour. Things started getting a little messy!
We kept kneading. Things got a little messier. But sometimes messy is fun!
Our teacher took our finished loaves of bread dough to the church’s kitchen and baked them. They look pretty good, don’t you think?
The final lesson in the series brought the children into the sanctuary for the communion service on World Communion Sunday (October 2). The children received communion, some for the first time, and served their own communion bread to their parents and other family members.
