FIRST COMMUNION—SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 19

Bread, Wine, Bible

First Communion Class—Saturday, February 18, 9 am to 11:45 am

If you have a child receiving communion who has not attended any instruction, or if you have a child who is in 2nd grade through 5th grades and would like, with your approval, to begin receiving communion, this is your class.  Confirmation age students will receive their instruction during regular confirmation classes, as we are studying the sacraments.

We will have fun, bake bread, and explore what goes into the bread and cup.  There is mystery in ordinary things.  Gods wants to share the mystery and the promise with us.  We invite student(s) and at least one parent to join us.  Please contact us if you would like to attend or if you have any questions.

If you have a child outside of the 2nd-5th grade age range, who you would like to receive communion, please speak with Pastor.

 

FIRST COMMUNION SUNDAY WILL FOLLOW ON FEBRUARY 19.
