Informed Eucharist Class April 24 and May 1
|
|
|
Communion is an important part of how our communitygathers for weekly worship. If your child would like to learn more about Communion -- why we celebrate it, how it brings us together, what all the "stuff" is that we use in celebrating it -- we'd love for them to join us Sunday, April 24 and Sunday, May 1 for an Instructed Eucharist Class. We'll gather at 11:30 am for less than an hour to talk about Communion and the part it plays in our communal and spiritual lives, and to talk about any questions the children might have.
While children of all ages are welcome, the class will be geared toward grades K - 3. All kids are welcome to participate whether they receive Communion regularly or occasionally or have not yet received Communion. If you have any questions, please contact Megan at This email address is being protected from spambots.
