Baptism
God, who is rich in mercy and love, gives us a new birth into a living hope through the sacrament of baptism. By water and the Word God delivers us from sin and death and raises us to new life in Jesus Christ. We are united with all the baptized in the one body of Christ, anointed with the gift of the Holy Spirit, and joined in God’s mission for the life of the world. Please contact the pastor if you would like yourself or your child to be baptized.
First Communion
Regardless of age, all baptized persons are invited to the Lord’s Table to receive this holy sacrament. The Lutheran Church believes that the true body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ is in, with, and under the bread and wine as instituted by Christ himself for Christians to eat and drink. Through this sacrament we receive forgiveness for our sins. The body and blood nourish us in our spiritual and physical lives to share God’s loving witness with the world. Though it is not a prerequisite to receiving communion, a class is usually offered on a Saturday morning in March for elementary age children and their parents to learn more about this mystery of our faith. Please contact the pastor for details.
Children and Worship
Children are always welcome in worship! For more information about worship visit our Sunday worship page.
An article in the ELCA magazine, Living Lutheran, shares this perspective on children in worship: “As any parent of a 2-year-old can tell you, they can be unpredictable, squirmy, loud, messy and make even the thickest-skinned parents embarrassed to sit in worship. So how does one do it?” Read more here.
