ELEMENTARY SUNDAY SCHOOL

*Sundays from 10:05-10:45 a.m.

Holy Communion
April 12 through May 10

At Abiding Presence we joyfully celebrate the sacrament of Holy Communion. Each week we remind ourselves during communion that, “this is the Lord’s table, and all are welcome here.” This spring we are diving into the sacrament of Holy Communion in Sunday School. What is Holy Communion? Why do we do this every Sunday? We are going to answer those questions and more together this spring.

We cannot wait to explore Holy Communion with you for the next five weeks through April and May. If you have not already, please fill out our Children & Family Ministry Annual Event Sign-Up here.

At Abiding Presence, our Sunday morning faith formation follows a workshop model. Kids get to pick an age-appropriate workshop to engage in for the six week session. Read more about our innovative approach to Sunday School in this article from The Living Lutheran magazine and scroll down the page to read our FAQs.

Registration is LIVE! We hope you’ll join us for all the fun. Here’s a look at the workshops we are offering this spring:
