What Can We Help You With?
-
Baptism
In the waters of baptism, we are lovingly adopted by God into God’s family, which we call the Church, and given God’s own life to share and reminded that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ.
-
Eucharist
The Eucharist is one of the two sacraments instituted by Jesus, the second being baptism. At the Last Supper Jesus shared the bread and a cup of wine with his disciples. Jesus identified the bread with is body and the wine with his blood of the new covenant.
-
Confirmation & Reaffirmation
Confirmation is the sacramental rite in which the candidates "express a mature commitment to Christ, and receive strength from the Holy Spirit through prayer and the laying on of hands by a bishop".
-
Marriage
The sacramental rite of the church in which two persons “enter into a life-long union, make their vows before God and the Church, and receive the grace and blessing of God to help them fulfill their vows” (BCP, p. 861).
-
Funerals
In the Episcopal Church, the liturgy for the dead is an Easter liturgy. It finds all meaning in the resurrection. Because Jesus was raised from the dead, we too, shall be raised.
-
Worship
