Communion is a profound way to experience God's presence and feel included in a church community. This episode explores the importance of involving children in this sacrament and addresses potential barriers that may prevent their participation. Revd Mary Hawes joins Melanie to discuss the theological and practical considerations of all-age communion, and how to make services more inclusive and meaningful for everyone.
They unpack the new "Bread and Wine" resource from Roots, which includes prayers, case studies, and articles designed to enrich communion. Listen in as they share insights on making Communion a welcoming and significant experience for both children and adults in the church community.
