CLASS FOR FIRST COMMUNION The age when children begin to receive Holy Communion varies among Christian denominations and even different Lutheran churches, from infants to confirmation age. At Gloria Dei, we believe that all are welcome at the Table of the Lord. At the same time, we find it beneficial for young children and their parents to have some instruction about the sacrament, especially when they begin asking questions about it, or express the desire to receive it. Parents often know when the time seems right for their children and prior to that are encouraged to bring children forward for a blessing during communion. Pastor Carlson is planning to offer a first communion instruction time on Saturday, Sept. 26th from 9:30-10:30a.m. for children and their parents. Please let Pastor Carlson know if you want to be included in this instruction.
"Empowered by Christ's love, Gloria Dei reaches out as an inclusive, welcoming church through worship and social action."
