All About First Communion
/in Uncategorized /by Kara PaulsonDear Mount Calvary Families:
We are back in person during Lent for the first time since 2019. We are beyond thrilled to be seeing all of your faces.
As Mount Calvary parents, we want to inform you about our first communion preparation. It is during third grade that students at Mount Calvary receive communion for the first time but as always we will welcome all ages over the age of third grade, the invitation is open to all.
Our first communion preparation and experience is designed for both parents and children. We offer a class two times throughout the year, one is in the fall and the other is in the spring. After the class, your child will then receive their first communion during a worship ceremony.
Our next class is Thursday, April 7, 2022, at 6:15 – 8:00 pm: families participating in this class should plan to attend worship Maundy Thursday, April 14, 2022, at 7:00 pm to receive their first communion.
To sign up, please email Ketti Spehar at Ketti.spehar@mountcalvary.org with your preference for the preparation class. I will be sending a “getting ready” letter to your family as we get closer to the date.
If you signed up this fall, be on the lookout for that getting ready letter as the date gets closer.
What if I can come to the preparation class, but not on the weekend?
While we strongly encourage families to attend the weekend services specifically designated as first communion weekends, if you are able to participate in the class, but not the weekend services, please come to the preparation class and your student can receive their first communion at any weekend communion service.
What do I need to do to prepare for the class?
Our preparation class is drama, storytelling and art. Be prepared to talk to your student about a story that is important or defining for your family and about faith – you will share stories privately with your student. Bring a bible verse that is important to you and be prepared to share that verse and why it is important. I have included below a list of verses for you to peruse if you need some assistance. Bring the names of friends or family that you would like to lift up in prayer and be prepared to share those with your student. We are looking forward to taking this next step with you and your child in their faith journey. If you have any questions, please let me know as soon as you can! I can also be reached at 952.474.8893.
Peace,
Andrea
