Celebrating First Holy Communion
First Holy Communion is a sacred occasion in the Christian faith, symbolizing the initiation of young individuals into the sacrament of the Eucharist. It is a time of great joy and significance for both the participants and their families. St Mark’s United Methodist Church takes immense pride in providing a beautiful and meaningful First Holy Communion experience.
Preparing for First Holy Communion
In preparation for First Holy Communion, St Mark’s United Methodist Church offers a comprehensive program designed to educate and guide children in their understanding of the Eucharist. Our dedicated team of teachers and leaders work closely with the children, ensuring they grasp the significance of this sacrament.
Through engaging lessons, discussions and activities, children learn about the history, traditions, and symbolism associated with the Eucharist. They delve into the story of Jesus, His Last Supper, and the meaning behind His sacrifice. Our goal is to foster a deep appreciation for the Eucharist, leading to a spiritual awakening in each child's heart.
Sharing in the Sacrament
First Holy Communion is a communal celebration, and at St Mark’s United Methodist Church, we encourage families to come together and participate in this special event. The First Holy Communion ceremony is held during one of our regular worship services, where the community gathers to witness the children's commitment to their faith.
Dressed in their pristine white attire, the First Holy Communion candidates offer prayers, readings, and reflections during the service. The church community, including parents, relatives, and friends, join in the celebration, providing support and encouragement to the children as they take their first steps towards a lifelong relationship with Jesus.
A Sacred Milestone

At St Mark’s United Methodist Church, we understand the significance of this moment, and we strive to create a memorable experience for the children and their families.
