“…and Mary gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in bands of cloth, and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn…”
Luke 2:7 (NRSV)
Jesus’ family was stitched together in surprising ways. Every family is beautifully different, and each new member should be celebrated and appreciated in their arrival.
Welcome to the Family will ensure that your family is well supported in this wonderful time of transition. We’re excited to celebrate with you!
Our Ministry
Welcome to the Family welcomes children coming home for the first time, whether they are joining the family through birth, adoption, or fostering.
Are you expecting a child to join your household? Please let us know so that we can walk and pray with you throughout this time of change and expectation!
Baptism
In the tradition of the Episcopal Church, baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into the Christian faith and life.
To have an infant or child baptized at Trinity Church, the parents must be one of the following:
- Current Members of Trinity Church, or
- Have a standing familial connection with the parish (one or both parents or grandparents are still active members), or
- In the process of joining Trinity Church
In addition to the above, parents and godparents must attend the Baptism preparation class.
If you would like to celebrate this new family member with the sacrament of baptism, then we would be delighted to walk with you.
We celebrate this sacrament with parents, godparents, family, and community on these Sundays:
- First Sunday of Epiphany/Feast of the Baptism of our Lord
- Day of Pentecost
- First Sunday in July
- First Sunday in August
- Sunday of Labor Day Weekend
- All Saints’ Sunday
