Jesus said to his disciples: “Thus it is written that the Christ would suffer and rise from the dead on the third day and that repentance, for the forgiveness of sins, would be preached in his name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. And behold I am sending the promise of my Father upon you; but stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high.” Then he led them out as far as Bethany,raised his hands, and blessed them. As he blessed them he parted from them and was taken up to heaven. They did him homage and then returned to Jerusalem with great joy, and they were continually in the temple praising God.

1st Communion. We celebrated the 1st communion of 9 communicants who have been preparing for this day since last Fall. We congratulate them all as they receive this most personal and powerful sacrament of the Church. We pray they will continue to receive Holy Eucharist regularly for the rest of their lives.
Listen to the recording of Lee Ann calling the communicants forward to receive a gift.
