In the congregations I have belonged to confirmation took place on Pentacost Sunday. I know of others where it occurs at different times of the year, in some large congregations they have more then one confirmation service in a year. When I was confirmed we could not take communion until after we were confirmed. Now children take communion at generally younger ages. My children begin taking comunion between kindergarten and second grade. Our current pastor makes them wait until 5th grade. I know others (mostly episcopalians) who give communion to infants. **************The year's hottest artists on the red carpet at the Grammy Awards. Go to AOL Music.
