Gathered at the Table: Celebrating Communion -- Glenys Nellist, Hardcover

Written in both prose and poetry, Gathered at the Table engages children as it begins with the example set by Jesus at the Last Supper in Jerusalem and shows readers that even though there are many ways to take communion, the meaning is the same: in Communion, we remember Christ's sacrifice for us.

Ever since Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples, Christians all around the world gather to celebrate Communion so they can remember Jesus too. The bread reminds us of Jesus's body. The wine reminds us of Jesus's blood. Bestselling author Glenys Nellist takes children ages 4-8 through the action of communion and encourages them to reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us.
