Communion and Baptism

          Baptism

• Through baptism we are joined with the church and with Christians everywhere.
• Baptism is a symbol of new life and a sign of God's love and forgiveness of our sins.
• Persons of any age can be baptized.
• We baptize by sprinkling, immersion or pouring.
• A person receives the sacrament of baptism only once in his or her life.

Baptisms are usually held on the third Sunday of the month. Please speak with Rev. Stephanie if you are interested in discussing Baptism at Hope.

 

The Lord's Supper (Communion, Eucharist)

• The Lord's Supper is a holy meal of bread and wine that symbolizes the body and blood of Christ.
• The Lord's Supper recalls the life, death and resurrection of Jesus and celebrates the unity of all the members of God's family.
• By sharing this meal, we give thanks for Christ's sacrifice and are nourished and empowered to go into the world in mission and ministry.
• We practice "open Communion," welcoming all who love Christ, repent of their sin, and seek to live in peace with one another.

Hope United Methodist Church partakes Holy Communion on the first Sunday of every month. All are welcome to come to the Table.
