Communion Connectionscircle

Preparing youth for first communion.

We, as a congregation, invite people of all ages to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion. The participation of children is at the discretion and decision of parents. As part of the BAPTISMAL PROMISE*, parents committed to provide instruction in the Christian faith, including the sacrament of Holy Communion. The church’s commitment to the BAPTISMAL PROMISE is to provide ways for the parents and sponsors to fulfill their promise. We offer a Communion Participation Class a.k.a. Communion Connections to those families where children are already communing, as well as those preparing for their first communion.

This year the Communion Connections class will be held on Sunday, May 16, 2010 from 2:00pm-5:00 pm and include a pizza dinner at 4:30 pm. We’ll explore Holy Communion through study, activities, Sanctuary practice and making bread!

The class is designed for 3rd grade students and their parents. Children in 4th-6th grade and their parents who have not attended in the past or would like a refresher are also welcome to attend.

Call the church office if you would like to sign up for this event or you may also register in the Spring. On Sunday, May 23, 2010 there will be special recognition of students in the Communion Participation Class and certificates of completion will be distributed.

If you would like to discuss Holy Communion, please call the church office
