Participating students will receive their first communion during Maundy Thursday worship on April 18 at 7 p.m. Questions? Contact Pastor Ryan: prryan@rlcindy.org. A note about children communing at RLC: We normally offer First Communion instruction for 4th graders, however, parents are free to discern whether their children may begin communing at an earlier age. Parents may wish to include one of the pastors in that discernment process, and we encourage you to let us know if your child is going to commune earlier than 4th grade so we can support your family s faith decisions appropriately.
