Children

Baptism
In preparation for baptism, parents are brought together to talk about baptismal promises and to meet other new parents. During the one-hour class infants receive a blessing bowl and their first milestone pebble. The class meets at 7 pm on the first Thursday of each month in the Gathering Room. To arrange for a baptism and to register for the class, contact the church office 336-3734.
