. In the Lutheran church I am presently attending they start communion classes for children in grade 2 and confirmation when they are 14 yrs old. My son is raised Lutheran and the prior church did not even suggest communion training even though my husband was a member of the church(This church was corrupt as we found out later and just like everything that does not foster Gods desires it failed and closed.) Since my son is almost 12 he will work with the pastor individually and he will be able to take communion with us and my daughter will start when she reachs 2nd grade. We plan on becoming members. I was baptized in my 20's at a Methodist Church but I am converting to Lutheran. If I am baptized in the church and confirmed by my former reverend so is that enough for me to take communion? This has been a question of mine over the years. . Jesus disciples were baptized and they sat the table of the Lord and they were worthy. For years I was made to feel as if I was not good enough to take communion.My mom told me that you can't take communion if you are not a member of a particular church. My responsibility now is to make such my children get it done right but I have to set the example. This is just so confusing---any thoughts?
