Holy Trinity invites fifth graders and older to attend First Communion instruction. A day retreat is offered for parents and their children to learn about what communing with the Lord means and why it is an important part of our lives as followers of Jesus Christ. The retreat focuses on Moses journey from his birth to the 10 plagues, to the exodus from Egypt, and finally the crossing of the Dead Sea. In addition, they will make unleavened bread that will be served for communion at our Maundy Thursday service.

"And as they were eating, Jesus took a loaf of bread and asked God's blessing on it. Then he broke it and gave it to the disciples, saying, "Take it and eat it, for this is my body." And he took a cup of wine and gave thanks to God for it. He gave it to them and said, "Each of you drink from it, for this is my blood, which seals the covenant between God and his people. It is poured out to forgive the sins of many." (Matthew 26:26-28)
