In Baptism, we as a church community celebrate the momentous and joyous occasion of welcoming a new member of the Body of Christ. The Episcopal Church recognizes and affirms both adult and infant baptism. Adult baptism may serve to remind us that we need to take responsibility for our relationship with God in Christ ourselves. Infant baptism serves to remind us that God's grace is a pure gift and that we can’t have a relationship with God without the help of the community.
Traditionally, baptisms take place during Saturday or Sunday public worship. Prior to the baptism, the clergy will hold a brief Baptismal class, and a rehearsal is scheduled 30 minutes prior to the service at which the Baptism will occur. Holy Baptism is especially appropriate on the following days: First Sunday after the Epiphany, January 6thEaster Vigil Service, April 8th, 2023 and Easter Day April 9th, 2023Pentecost Sunday, May 28, 2023All Saints Sunday, November 1st We can perform baptisms at other times for those whose family schedules are such that the above dates do not work.
