"For as often as we eat of this bread and drink from this cup, we proclaim the Lord's death until he comes." — Evangelical Lutheran Worship

PREPARATION FOR FIRST HOLY COMMUNION

All fifth grade students are invited to participate in the First Communion Class. This is a two-session class that discusses the meaning and significance of the sacrament of Holy Communion. The first session is hosted over the Sunday School hour (9:00 AM), and the second session is hosted one weekday evening (5:00 PM) so that the students can help Pastor Halle prepare the bread for their first communion that coming Sunday. First communion will be celebrated on Christ the King Sunday.

If you're interested in preparing your child for their first holy communion before fifth grade, you may contact the pastor to discuss this possibility.
