Today, my family and I visited a local church – a reformed and Presbyterian church whose ministry and godliness I would not like to dishonor. They are faithful in the gospel.
However, since they do not allow children to commune, and since today was a communion Sunday, we decided to leave before the meal.
I just didn’t want to have to explain in the service to my daughters why they couldn’t have the meal they know as their own.
In the car, my wife was explaining why we left early to my children. My three and a half year old was surprised that a church would not allow her to eat the meal (since her experience is still limited).
She said, “Why do they do that?”
My wife said, “Anastasia, they are trying to do the right thing, and they think that is what the Bible says, but Daddy and Mommy think they are wrong about that portion of the Bible.”
Anastasia: “Daddy, you have to tell those people!”
