Product Overview
Celebrate Communion Small-Scale Package
Ever since Jesus took bread, gave thanks, shared it with his disciples, and told followers to do this in his memory, Christians have reenacted the moment. Over time, services of communion have been created and discussions about just what should be included have resulted in liturgies and prayers that pass on from generation to generation. Although Christians agree on the importance of communion, the meaning and practice of communion is multi-faceted and rich.
Throughout this unit, participants will learn that communion is a physical act, a spiritual gift, and a call for a pattern for living, in which we receive the gifts of God, give thanks, break them open, and share them with one another and the world. These actions of taking, blessing, breaking, and giving are central to the unity to the body of Christ. The four dimensions of the practice that are discussed include: give thanks, share meals, be fed, and feed others.
The Small-Scale Package includes:
- 1 Congregational Guide
- 1 Multiage Children Leader’s Guide
- 1 Adult Leader’s Guide
- 5 Adult Reflection Guides (Print Only)
Infographic posters are not included and will need to be purchased separately. Additional Adult Reflection Guides can be purchased in bulk for a discount (discount shows up in cart).
In addition to the material in the Adult Leader’s Guide and the Adult Reflection Guide, there are also free videos that leaders can use as conversation starters for the unit and each session. Visit our YouTube Channel, bit.ly/FMYouTubeGFR, to see the playlist for this unit.
