The LCMS church I've been attending is small, and the pastor did something during the last communion I had never seen before.
He announced that the confirmed would receive communion, and that children could come forward for a blessing of baptism.
Then the kids who came forward had water placed on their head.
Is this standard practice in some LCMS churches?
I thought baptism was a one time thing, so I found it odd for that to replace communion for the kids.
