The Sacrament of Holy Communion

Cross of Life offers a three-week class for Third Graders (and older students new to Cross of Life) and their parents to prepare for the Sacrament of Holy Communion. The class is filled with hands-on active learning experiences in a blend of large group and small group settings. This class is traditionally held on three evenings in the spring of the school year with First Communion celebrated in mid-May. The children and their parents decorate a personal chalice, and bake unleavened bread to be served at the First Communion services. In addition to this class, acolyte training is offered for students interested in assisting during worship as an acolyte. Please contact a Pastor if interested.
