 Splash! program. Designed  to support your role as parents in the faith formation of your child, so we will be gifting you with several age-appropriate Christian books to help bridge the gap between Baptism and Preschool Sunday School. 

We hope you will spend time reading these books with your child, as a practical (and fun) way to fulfill your baptismal promise to raise your child in the Christian faith. Your final book will include a letter about our preschool Sunday school program. When your child is ready to begin attending Sunday school, preschoolers will also be presented with a My First Bible as part of our Milestone Ministry during one of our worship services.


First Communion at ALC

5th Graders will receive their First Communion during December as part of our Milestone Ministry as they prepare to receive the gift of Jesus. Classes will consist of 2-3 Sunday morning sessions that include an opportunity to paint and create their own chalices.
