Holy Baptism
Grace Church offers the sacrament of Holy Baptism — full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body the Church — at appropriate times throughout the year, these include:
- The Feast of All Saints
(Sunday closest to November 1) - The Baptism of Our Lord
(usually the second Sunday in January) - The Great Vigil of Easter
(the Saturday evening before Easter Day) - The Feast of Pentecost: Whitsunday
(usually the first Sunday in June)
For adults, baptism is a public statement of their intentional decision to follow Jesus. For infants, it is a declaration of intent by the infant’s parents and Godparents to raise the child in the way of Christ and the traditions of the church.
