Admitting Children to Communion Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not stop them; for it is to such as these that the kingdom of heaven belongs.’ And he laid his hands on them and went on his way. (Matthew 19:14-15) The Gospels show us again and again that Jesus warmly welcomed children and valued them deeply. Over the coming months, I will be running preparation sessions for the Admission of Children to Communion. Rebecca Nye, a child psychologist, writes that children have ‘the spiritual advantage of an acutely sensitive capacity for non-verbal communication and insight’—and, in my own experience, presiding at the altar with children gathered at my elbows, as often happens in Stadhampton, is always a joy and a privilege. If this is something you would like to consider for your child or children, please do have a chat with me, or get in touch by email or phone: revemmafirth@gmail.com, 07498 762485.
