On Saturday Stephen made his first holy communion. His Grampy and I were very honored to be eucharistic ministers for this occasion. The congregation received communion after the children so we were able to see the children as they received from the priests. I was impressed by how well the children had been taught. The priest began by talking about bread and asking the children what their favorite kind of bread was. They were eager to respond - pumpernickle, wheat bread, Italian bread, bagels, raisin bread, Mexican bread, regular bread. Then they were asked what was special about this bread today. Their answers - Jesus is in it, it's Holy, It feeds our souls, It's blessed, It's Jesus. I say God bless these children and Halleluia!
