The Sacrament of Holy Baptism is normally administered within the context of the Holy Eucharist on Sundays and may be scheduled by calling the Parish Office. A Baptismal Preparation class is required for parents and sponsors before the baptismal date.

Holy Communion is open to all baptized Christians. It is our custom to come forward to the rail, and kneel and place the palm of one hand in the other to receive the bread. You may receive the wine either by guiding the chalice to your mouth, or by carefully dipping the wafer into the wine. Parents are asked to assist their young children in receiving the bread and wine.
NonBaptized persons are invited to come to the rail for a blessing.
Classes preparing children for Holy Communion are available on request.

Confirmation preparation begins with Sunday School. All persons who wish to affiliate with the Episcopal Church are expected to make a mature public affirmation of their faith and commitment to the responsibilities of their Baptism through the laying on of hands by the Bishop at a special service of Confirmation. Preparation for those wishing to make such an adult affirmation of Faith includes a specially scheduled course of reading and study under the guidance of the Rector.

Confession (Reconciliation of a Penitent) is available for all who desire it by contacting the priest. A general Confession is part of our regular Sunday Holy Eucharist service.

Wedding arrangements can be made with the Rector. A minimum of four months notice is necessary, as is completion of pre-marital counseling.

Ministry to the Sick
In case of illness or injury, please notify the parish office as soon as possible. Prayers for Healing are also offered at the Wednesday Prayer and Holy Eucharist Services, and by request to a member of the Prayer Chain, the Care Team or clergy.

Christian Burial
Members of the church are properly buried from the church. The clergy will also conduct funeral home or graveside services for non-members. A member of the clergy should be contacted as soon as possible after a death has occurred.
