Welcome to the Lord’s Table | We are excited to invite youth in grades 4+ to our Welcome to the Lord’s Table class to prepare them to participate in the sacrament of Holy Communion. As we share during our services, Holy Communion is offered to all who are wanting to participate. This program is a celebration of youth who are ready to better understand and engage in Holy Communion at King of Glory.

Session Details | All sessions begin with a dinner at 6pm with class from 6:30-8pm in the KOG Crossover Room.

• Week 1: Youth will learn about sacraments, with focus on baptism and Holy Communion. Each student and adult will get the opportunity to share about their own baptism experiences.
• Week 2: Youth will receive a engaging lesson on the history of Passover and how it relates to the Lord’s Supper, making the connection between Old Testament and New Testament events.
• Week 3: Youth will dive into the practice of Holy Communion, and learn how it can be celebrated differently across different churches. We’ll also practice what their 1st Communion celebration will look like at King of Glory, and create their Holy Communion candle.
• Week 4: This fun evening will allow youth to prepare and participate in the Seder Meal, while learning the significance and meaning of this feast.
• Maundy Thursday, April 6, 2023: Maundy Thursday will be the youth’s opportunity to celebrate their completion of the Welcome to the Lord’s Table classes with their First Communion during the evening service at 7pm. Youth are encouraged to invite family, friends, neighbors, and baptismal sponsors to the service celebration with a dessert reception to follow. (Youth arrive at 6:30pm for final practice and preparation.)

Crossover | The goal of the Crossover Program is to help 5th & 6th graders better know the living God and see His plan of salvation for us through a study of the Old Testament one year and the New Testament the next year. These classes are meant to be a meaningful time in their faith journey. 5th and 6th graders are invited to attend Welcome to the Lord’s Table classes, which prepare them to receive their 1st Communion on Maundy Thursday. 

Crossover meets most Sundays from 9am to 9:50am from August-May, and aligns with local school calendar breaks.
