Document Description: 

Children in the Eucharist, formerly titled Children in the Parish Eu­charist, is intended to help the Church honor, respect, and ac­cept our children and their ministries as they, like adults, live into the Baptismal Covenant, specifically so at the altar. Chil­dren very rarely have a sense of belonging to the Christian com­munity at worship because those who plan the Liturgy and those who furnish the liturgical space rarely think of children. The Holy Eucharist is indeed the liturgy of the baptized and “the principal act of Christian worship on the Lord's Day and other Feasts,” and as such all baptized Christians, regardless of age, should be present and take their place as full participants at the Lord's Table.
