First
Holy Eucharist

The first time a child receives the Holy Eucharist is a very special day in their life with Jesus.  They learn how special it is that Jesus gave everything He had to help us get closer to God.  Sacrifice is hard, but God loves us so much.  

"Therefore the LORD waits to be gracious to you, and therefore he exalts himself to show mercy to you. For the LORD is a God of justice; blessed are all those who wait for him."  Isaiah 30:18
