FIRST COMMUNION

Take and eat. This is my body given for you… Take and drink. This is my blood shed for you for forgiveness.

Matthew 26:26

Each spring we offer a First Communion workshop for children in grades 5 through 9 and a parent. The goal is to help students understand the gifts God gives through this holy meal and to prepare them to take communion for the first time.

Students and their parent(s) will learn the connection between the first Passover with Moses to the holy meal celebrated today through hands-on activities, family discussions, and a taste of the seder meal.

This workshop is held on a Saturday morning, typically the Saturday before Palm Sunday. Students receive their First Communion on Maundy Thursday.

The next workshop will be on Saturday, March 16, 2024. Students will receive their First Communion during the Maundy Thursday worship service on Thursday, March 28 at 7pm.
