What is Holy Communion?
Holy Communion is Christ himself, coming to us through bread and wine. This meal is God’s gift of grace and forgiveness, given for all. At Good Shepherd we practice an open table. All are welcome to come and taste the Lord's meal.
First Communion Instruction
First Communion instruction is available for kids in grades Kindergarten-5th. Caregivers choose the appropriate age for children to receive the sacrament. We offer two family-friendly approaches that allow caregivers and siblings of differing ages to learn together.
First Communion Class
A one hour in-person class on February 27, 2024 at 6:00 p.m. at Verona Campus.
Family-Led Learning
At-home parent led instruction with materials provided by Good Shepherd.
First Communion Recognition: We honor and recognize First Communions within worship during Lent and on Maundy Thursday. Those receiving the Lord's meal for the first time are welcomed to the table during the season that we also remember Christ's sacrifice and gift.
