Pastor Linstrom is hoping to hear from Trinity Lutheran Church parents who are interested in a brief class to prepare their young children for Holy Communion in the fall of 2023. Trinity is a congregation that welcomes all the baptized, including young children, to participate in the Lord’s Supper, and a wonderful, simple curriculum entitled “A Place for You” provides a meaningful introduction to Holy Communion teaching for young children and their parents.
In the fall each year, Pastor Linstrom gathers with parents and their children for a brief First Communion class followed by bread baking in the church kitchen. The bread the children bake (with a bit of help) will be shared the following Sunday morning in worship along with a blessing of First Communion children and their families. In the fall of 2023, Young Children’s Communion Classes will be offered three times:
•Sunday, September 10 at 10:30 a.m.
•Sunday, October 8 at 10:30 a.m.
•Saturday, October 14 at 11 a.m.

The class lasts about 45-50 minutes, followed by another 45 minutes in the church kitchen for those who wish to stay and help with communion bread baking. If you are interested in reserving a place for your child/children at one of the fall classes, please use this link to sign up: https://tinyurl.com/mrf4sx69
Even if your child is already communing, you would be welcome to join us for this mini-course.
If you have questions about Trinity’s celebration of Holy Communion with young children, or if you have difficulty with the signup link, please be in touch with Pastor Bob.
