We will be holding First Communion classes beginning on February 13 at 9:00 am. Any baptized child in the 1st-5th grades is invited to attend this 3-week class series! The curriculum we will be using is modeled on the Eucharist format: We Gather (Lesson 1), We Hear and Respond to the Word of God and We Offer our Gifts (Lesson 2), We Celebrate and We are Sent Out (Lesson 3). Because children learn with all their senses, activities and instruction will be included that engage them throughout each lesson.
