First Communion

The sacrament of Holy Communion is a tremendous gift from God. We meet at the Lord’s table every week at Lord of the Lakes.

We believe the sins of the world are taken on the cross and that through the bread and the wine, God continues to set us free in this special gift. Our first communion program begins typically in the third or fourth grade. We leave this decision up to the parent.

If a child understands the concepts of sin and forgiveness and wants to join in, then they are invited to a short class on a Sunday morning that explains the meaning of the sacrament. At the conclusion of this class they will join in on the next Sunday for first communion.
