What a beautiful thing it is when our children come to put their faith in Jesus! At Eternal, when our children come to a saving knowledge of Christ, that is when we invite them to begin taking communion with the adults. Typically, we ask the children to talk with the elders and tell them about their relationship with Jesus. Parents are invited to come too! This is one of the most special things that we get to do as a church! If your child has recently accepted Christ and you feel he/she is ready to begin taking communion, we would invite you to come to the next Session (elders) meeting on April 28, 7:00 p.m. at the Eternal office. For more information, please contact Andy Crissinger: andy@eternal.gs or 803-802-3070.
