2nd First Communion

We celebrated Teresa's second first communion.  We let our kids take communion when they first showed interest, so Teresa was 3. .  Our church has 5th graders take first communion, so we have had the kids do a refresher course and celebrate again.  Teresa had her 2nd first communion this weekend at our first in-person worship in over a year.  

She was hoping to get real bread and try wine for the first time.  Unfortunately do to covid, we are still using the individual communion cups. I promised we could do a 3rd first communion later at home...we have a pastor, bread and wine.  So with my mom joining by facetime, we celebrated communion again with real bread and wine.  Teresa was not impressed with the wine.  I am pretty sure she will happily stick to grape juice!
On a side note, I have been working my way through some recipes from the 50 states that Teresa picked out in January.  To celebrate her communion day, I made Kentucky Derby pie.  But now it is communion day pie! Please notice the chalice filled with wine made from mini M & Ms!
