EPISCOPAL 101

Come learn about the Episcopal Church and St. Martin's Parish. This course meets on Sundays at 9:30 in the Undercroft. This class is designed for persons who wish to be either confirmed or received as members of the Episcopal Church, if you have already received the Sacrament of Confirmation. It is also ideal for people who want to learn more about the Episcopal Church.

MEMORIAL DAY

We want to commemorate all veterans who died serving our country this Memorial Day. If you have a veteran you would like to appear in that Sunday's special prayer list, please email me.

CONFIRMATION AND RECEPTION INTO THE EPISCOPAL CHURCH

St. Martin's will host a Regional Service of Confirmation on Sunday, September 28 at 3 pm. Last fall, a class started for youth and adults interested in being confirmed or received into the Episcopal Church. A new class will begin this spring for those who want to be confirmed or received on September 23. 

Confirmation is the sacrament that completes one's initiation into the Church as one makes an adult profession of faith in Jesus Christ. It is an unrepeatable sacrament, as baptism is, so if you were confirmed in a church with apostolic succession (such as the Roman Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church) you do not need to be "re-confirmed." However, if you would like to officially become a member of the Episcopal Church, you may be received as such by the laying of hands by the bishop.

Please see Father Rob if you have any questions or want to participate in the spring class.
