First Communion for Children at South Santiago Lutheran Church

FIRST COMMUNION SUNDAY: April 19, 2020
SSLC offers teaching and public recognition regarding participation in Holy Communion as a milestone of faith formation. Children in First Grade, as well as older children who have yet to make their First Communion, are invited to participate in a hands-on class in the weeks leading up to First Communion with a parent/sponsor. Families with children younger than that who wish to begin instruction for their child can speak directly with one of the pastors about possible exceptions to our policy.
First Communion will be held the Sunday after Easter at both the 8 a.m. and 10 a.m. Worship Services. We are moving it from Maundy Thursday to allow families the opportunity to more easily invite and have family members who live at a distance participate in this important moment.
