First Communion Recognition

Children who complete the class will be recognized during the Maundy Thursday service on April 17 at 7:00 p.m. They will receive a flower, certificate, and Bible and will share Communion with their families during worship. If a child is unable to attend on Maundy Thursday, their Bible and certificate will be available the next Sunday they join us to receive Communion in this special way.
