It’s a special joy for us to have a remembrance of this last year’s baptisms and a time of renewal for all of our baptisms. We will be also be blessed to share again in the Rite of Membership and Confirmation for others joining our Church Family.

Hopefully, by now, you've noticed that the old "Connection Cards" in the pew racks have been replaced by three separate cards: a new Connection Card, a new prayer request card, and a new "Family for Everyone" card to replace the old green cards.
