What is Communion?

What is Communion text

The Last Supper

Read:

Mark 14:12-26 or the story of the Last Supper in your favorite Bible Storybook.

Pray:

Dear God, thank you for the gift of Communion. When we taste the bread and juice, help us remember how much you love us! And that we can seek forgiveness from you and others for the times when we mess up. Help us to show love and forgiveness to the people around us too. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Wonder Together:

  • I wonder what it looked like in the room where Jesus and his friends celebrated the Passover.
  • I wonder what the room smelled like.
  • I wonder what the room sounded like.
  • I wonder what the disciples were thinking when Jesus used the bread and wine to talk about himself.
  • I wonder how Jesus felt during the meal.
  • I wonder what happens next.
