Finding Faith: Boy eagerly awaits his First Communion

This year, a lone student, a young boy, is preparing for his first Communion, and the pastor said journeying with him will forever stand out as a lasting memory.
The First Communion class studies the Last Supper account from Matthew 26:17-29 during Wednesday nights during Lent, before the church's family-style dinner and worship.
He whispered 'Just two more weeks until my practice first Communion,' showing his excitement, and last Sunday the pastor noticed his eyes widen during a blessing.
The celebratory first partaking of Communion occurs on Maundy Thursday, which takes place within Holy Week, after five weeks of classes. The congregation will participate together.
Each year the class's makeup is different, and the boy had spent the past year watching the pastor serve Communion to his mother and sister, underscoring his desire to join the sacrament.
