Sunday School room above. The children are dismissed with prayer
at the beginning of the service and re-enter the church at the time
of the Communion.

Holy
Communion
All churches acknowledge BAPTISM and baptism alone initiates
a person into full citizenship in God's kingdom. Therefore, after
baptism a
child is welcome to receive the Sacrament at the Lord's table. CONFIRMATION
is the 'adult commitment' to Christ and is for those who have
been baptized as children and who now are ready to make an informed
decision about how they choose to exercise their ministry in the
service of Jesus.
Confirmation
St. Matthew's Church is a member of the Episcopal Diocese Of Newark
and a part of the world-wide Anglican Communion. Classes are arranged
each year for adults and young people at least 12 years old. They
are presented to our bishop for Confirmation. During the same service,
candidates may be presented to be received into the Episcopal Church
if they have been confirmed in another denomination. Others may
use the opportunity to renew their Baptismal Vows. Confirmation
classes begin in Epiphany and conclude in the season of Easter.
Parish Priorities
We have identified four priorities for
our parish:
-
