INQUIRERS’ CLASS: These words begin the sacramental rites of Baptism and Confirmation in the Book of Common Prayer: “There is one Body and one Spirit; There is one hope in God’s call to us; One Lord, one Faith, one Baptism; One God and Father of all” (Eph 4:4–6). Membership in the church is grounded in baptism. The Episcopal Church recognizes baptisms performed in other denominations done in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit for those desiring to become members. Christians from other denominations are encouraged to participate in our annual Inquirers’ Class to learn about the life, ministry, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church. Those who complete the class may then participate in the sacramental rite of Confirmation, Reception into the Episcopal Church, or the Reaffirmation of Baptismal Vows with Bishop Johnson at Saint Andrew’s on Feb 1, 2015. Fr. David will be leading the next Inquirers’ Class on Saturday, Nov 15, from 9 AM to 3 PM. If you are interested, please sign up in the parish hall or call the church office.
