ber. The event will be hosted at the home of the Wendorf’s. When you RSVP you will be given directions to their home.

We are offering a special class for the purpose of

instructing Children and Parents about the Sacra-

ment of the Altar. This is for those children 4th

grade and up whose parents think they are ready to

receive Holy Communion. This will prepare them to

receive this Sacrament before confirmation. It is

not a replacement for confirmation class, nor is it a

requirement. It is an option for those who want to

learn about communion and receive it before they

are confirmed. The class will be from 9:00 a.m. until

2:00 p.m. Lunch will be provided. Parents or guardi-

ans must attend with their child. There will be

breakout sessions for parents and children to work

together on some of the materials. If you and your

child are planning to attend, please call the church

office to register.

Early Communion Class Saturday September 7 9 a.m.– 2 p.m.

An Altar Care class is forming. Please contact the office to get your name on the list for training.
