First Communion Classes for 1st-5th Graders

We are very excited to announce that we will be holding First Communion classes for children in the 1st-5th grades beginning Tuesday, October 11!  Classes will take place over the course of 5 weeks, after school, on Tuesdays from 3:15-4:15 pm.  The classes will be led by Happy Wilson, Director of Family Ministries for St. George Church, in the Youth & Family Room located down the corridor next to the Chapel.  Baptized children in the 1^st-5^th grades are invited to attend this 5 week class series!  The curriculum we will be using is modeled on the Eucharist format: We Gather, We Hear and Respond to the Word of God, We Offer our Gifts, We Celebrate, and We are Sent Out.  Because children learn with all their senses, activities and instruction will be included that engage them throughout each lesson.

Children attending the classes must be baptized and will receive their 1st Communion at the school Thanksgiving Eucharist on Friday, Nov 18 at 10:00 am.

The First Communion class schedule is as follows:

Tues., October 11:  We Gather

Tues., October 18:  We Hear and We Respond to the Word of God

Tues., October 25: We Offer our Gifts

Tues., November 1: We Celebrate

Tues., November 8:  We Are Sent Out

Friday, November 18: First Communion at the Thanksgiving Eucharist
