First Communion is celebrated at St. Mark each year when our members who are 10 years old participate in an overnight retreat and learn about Holy Communion. Each year the participants paint their own chalice, form their own beeswax candle, make a group banner, bake communion bread for Sunday worship services, and reenact the Last Supper in a drama.

OVERNIGHT RETREATES CAN BE FUN!
