The Lutheran Church follows the command to baptize spoken by Jesus in Matthew 28: “As you are going make disciples of all nations, baptizing in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” God teaches us to baptize in conjunction with teaching and that baptism is not restricted to amy one category of people.

Easter Showers

Easter Showers is a two-hour class that explores the theology of Baptism – God’s gift of grace for adoption as His child and entrance into His Kingdom. In having their children baptized at St. James, a family commits to bringing them up in the Christian faith. The focus of the Easter Showers class is to examine what tis means and how St. James supports parents in this task.

The Easter Showers class is compulsory for any parents wishing to have their children baptized into the Christian faith at St. James. For adults and older children we offer classes that provide teaching focused on becoming a committed follow of Christ.

The Easter Showers class meets on the third Saturday of each month except during December, July and the month of Easter. It takes place at 9:30 a.m. in the Community Center. Children are welcome. Please use the form to the right to register.
