Join Us Sunday As We Welcome The Newly Baptized And Renew Our On Baptismal Promises

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking of bread, and in the prayers?

Sunday, January 22nd
10:00 a.m.

Holy Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church. It is a public statement of one’s intentional decision to follow the way of Jesus. In the case of infant baptism, it is the parents’ declaration of their intent to raise a child in the way of Jesus. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble, so baptism is only administered once. When you choose to be baptized yourself or to have your child baptized in the Episcopal Church, it means you are choosing to live out the Baptismal Covenant the context of an Episcopal church community, taking your part in the worship, mission and ministries of the parish.

I Will With God’s Help.
