‘Twas the season of Lent, when for forty whole days

The people were trying to think of new ways

To be more like Jesus—to love, care, and give,

In hopes that they’d choose the right way to live.

’Twas the Season of Lent:

Written in both prose and poetry, Gathered at the Table engages children as it begins with the example set by Jesus at the Last Supper in Jerusalem and shows readers that even though there are many ways to take communion, the meaning is the same: in Communion, we remember Christ’s sacrifice for us.

Ever since Jesus shared bread and wine with his disciples, Christians all around the world gather to celebrate Communion so they can remember Jesus too. The bread reminds us of Jesus’s body. The wine reminds us of Jesus’s blood. Bestselling author Glenys Nellist takes children ages 4-8 through the action of communion and encourages them to reflect on the sacrifice Jesus made for us.

Gathered at the table,

Sharing wine and bread.

“I want you to remember me,”

Jesus softly said.

Gathered at the Table:
