TheSacrraments

Holy Eucharist and Holy Baptism are the two great sacraments of
the Church. Holy Baptism is the prior sacrament to receive Holy
Communion.

The inward and spiritual grace in Baptism is union with Christ in
his death and resurrection, birth into God’s family the Church,
forgiveness of sins, and new life in the Holy Spirit. The outward
and visible sign in Baptism is water, in which a person is
baptized in the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Spirit.

The inward and spiritual grace in the Holy Communion is the
strengthening of our union with Christ and one another, and the
foretaste of the heavenly banquet, which is our nourishment in
eternal life. It is the Church’s sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving,
by which the sacrifice of Christ, his Body and Blood, is made
present, and in which he unites us to his one offering of himself.

The outward and visible sign in the Eucharist is bread and wine,
given and received according to Christ’s command. If you would
like to be baptized and or you would like your child baptized,
please see one our clergy and they will be glad to include the
sacrament of baptism during one of our Sunday morning
services. Thank you!
