Thursdays in April, beginning April 9 - Adult Confirmation Classes

Rev. Barb will hold four preparation classes on Thursdays at 7 p.m. on zoom from April 9 to April 30 for adults who would like to either be confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church. Currently, eight youths are in preparation for Confirmation, which will be held at St. Thomas Episcopal Church in Whitemarsh at 10 a.m. on Sunday, May 3. Adults would be received at this service as well.  The four adult preparation classes will explore questions that adult candidates have about the faith and beliefs of the Episcopal Church. If you would like to attend these sessions with the intention of Confirmation or Reception, or if you are interested in Baptism in the Christian Faith, please contact Rev. Barb at stpeter654rector@gmail.com or call 215-887-1765.

Saturday, April 11 - Bread Day for Children / Sunday, April 26 - "Awesome Communion"

Families of elementary-aged children are invited to learn about the Sacrament of Eucharist, make Communion bread and fashion Sacrament stoles during Bread Day on Saturday, April 11 from 10:30 am to noon. This activity would work best for children in first grade and up, but littler ones are invited as well since all ages are invited to receive Communion. The goal is to better understand what Eucharist is, and why and how we receive it. This is for families, so parents or adults are asked to attend with your kids.  

 

All of this is in preparation for a special Awesome Communion celebration on Sunday, April 26 as part of Come 4th Sunday.  Kids can dress up in any color they like and wear the stoles they made on Bread Day. They'll bring up the gifts at the offertory and gather around the altar for a closer look during the Eucharistic Prayer and help break the bread. If your child would like to make an "Awesome Communion" but can't attend Bread Day, Rev. Barb can provide you with materials to help you do the activities and have the conversation about Eucharist at home as a family.   Click HERE to register your child or request the at-home learning materials.
