BAPTISMS

Holy Baptism is the initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body, the Church. In the Episcopal Church, Baptism is the entry rite into the Christian life (although you don’t have to be baptized to join our community). Each candidate for Holy Baptism is sponsored by one or more baptized persons. The sacrament usually takes place during the 11:00 a.m. Sunday Worship Service.

CONFIRMATION

Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which an individual expresses a mature commitment to Christ. Confirmation or Reception is available for teens and adults who want to make a formal commitment to God in the Episcopal Church.

FUNERALS

This liturgy is characterized by joy, in the certainty that “neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
