Our next First Communion class will be offered on two Sundays (attend both sessions) during the FaithTrek hour on March 19 and 26. We will celebrate First Communion during Maundy Thursday worship on April 6. Any young person interested in taking Communion for the first time should attend this First Communion class. At least one parent needs to attend with children. If your child has already been taking Communion but has not yet taken this class, now is a great time!
How do you know if your child is ready for Communion? At First Lutheran, we are not focused on age, but we are focused on faith. In this Sacrament, we trust in God’s promises given, that the meal is “for you” and is given “for the forgiveness of sin”. That means that when children are beginning to trust Christ’s presence for them in the bread and wine and that they have a need to receive forgiveness, it’s a good time to begin taking Communion.
Let Pastor Erin know at pastorerin@flclincoln.org if you and your child(ren) plan to join us for First Communion class or if you would like further conversation about your child and Communion.
