"Let the children come, and do not hinder them!"
Congregations across the Methodist connection are studying This Holy Mystery: A United Methodist Understanding of Holy Communion. The document, adopted by the 2004 General Conference, is enriching our understanding and experience of the Holy Meal.
Now your entire church family can be involved in a "congregational study!" Designed as a companion to Gayle Carlton Felton’s seven-session adult study guide, this resource offers the full text of This Holy Mystery along with lesson plans and student papers useful for a broad age-range of children and youth.
"This comprehensive study not only introduces children and youth to Holy Communion but also helps them become more familiar with The United Methodist Church," writes one reviewer. "Children will be introduced to the mystery of the presence of God…. No matter how you use this study, students will learn to serve as they carry out their contributions to the Christian faith."
