Baptism for EveryOne!
Baptism is a celebration of God's loving intention for each and EveryOne. Whether you're the one dancing at the font, making promises as a parent, standing up as a god parent or saying "yes with the help of God" as a member of the Congregation. We all have a part. Are you thinking about Baptism? Call Pastors Deb or Pastor David for information and discernment.
