Baptismal Classes
Sundays: May 5, 12, and 19
The Gathering Room (room 1) at 9:15am
Are you interested in baptism? We will hold our next baptismal class for the three Sundays on May 5, 12, and 19 during the 9:15am formation hour. This class is for adults who are interested in being baptized, as well as for parents who are interested in their children being baptized. It is a fun class in which we not only explore the symbols and liturgy of the sacrament of baptism itself, but also talk about real life practical application of our baptismal covenant. Please register by Friday May 3, 2019 with Mo. Julia by emailing her at
