A Note From Pastor

First Communion

Students in second grade or higher are encouraged to attend First Communion classes. The goal of these classes are for students to grow in their relationship with Christ and learn more about the sacrament prior to taking communion.

First Communion classes will be held during the Sunday School hour on March 16, 30, and April 6.

First Communion will be given during our Maundy Thursday worship service at 7:00 p.m. on April 17.
