To be scheduled when it is safe to open. When the class is scheduled Mother Rebecca will help children understanding the meaning of Holy Communion and how we receive it in the Episcopal Church. This class serves for children preparing for first Communion as well as those who already receive Communion but would like to learn more. Please RSVP through the church office or email rebecca@sjbts.org. Graduates of the class will be recognized and receive a small gift at a church service. Bonfire
