Communion Instruction

Communion Class

Holy Communion is a gift of God’s grace for us, God’s people.

Children ages 3 through 3rd grade are invited to Communion Class, whether they are new to communion or have already received communion.

It is God’s table, and all are invited to receive this gift. We invite young children to start receiving communion as soon as they put their hands out to receive it. No one fully understands this gift of God’s grace, but we know what it feels like to be excluded – whether from a table or from a party. And this table is for all. For this is Jesus’ table – and he welcomes all people to receive the gift of God’s grace given in communion.

📅 Sunday, November 1
⏰ 11:15 AM–12:30 PM

🍽️ Lunch is included!

Parents, grandparents, and families are welcome.

Join Pastor Kristin in the Commons for a soup and salad lunch and discussion of “cross” songs: “The Old Rugged Cross,” “Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross,” “Beneath the Cross of Jesus,” and more.  We’ll learn a little about the hymn’s history and explore how the text illuminates our understanding of the cross.

All are welcome!  

Making Sense of the Cross

Sunday Mornings Starting February 22, from 8:45 – 9:45 am

We see the cross everywhere: In our church, as a piece of jewelry, in tattoos, and in many other places, both sacred and secular. However, the heart of the cross is an element of mystery that can’t be resolved either easily or entirely. Join us on Sunday mornings from 8:45 -9:45 as we listen in on a conversation between two people having an open and candid discussion about the cross and explore together the following questions: So, what’s with the cross? What does the cross say about God? What’s the big deal? Did Jesus have to die?

Participants are invited to read the book: Making Sense of the Cross, by David Lose, and available through Holy Trinity or Amazon.  If reading is not your thing, no worries, just join us on Sunday mornings.
