Baptism

Entrance into new life in Christ.
Through baptism, sin is forgiven, grace is given, and we receive the power to live as children of God.

Confirmation

Each person makes a mature confession of faith before the Bishop and the community. The Bishop then "confirms" each individual in the faith, and prays for them to receive the Holy Spirit's grace to walk in the way of Jesus.

Reconciliation (Confession)

Christ left his apostles (and those whom they ordained) the power to forgive sins. In faith, we confess our sins and receive  God's forgiveness.

Marriage

Two people enter into a life-long union, make their vows before God and the Church, and receive the grace and blessing of God to help them fulfill their vows.

Anointing with Oil (for the sick)

The book of James (5:13-16) tells the church that if anyone is sick, the elders (priests) of the church should be called so that they can anoint the sick with oil and pray over them. 

Ordination

The Church is led by people, called by God, to be its bishops, priests, and deacons. They are not perfect and simply human, but God has given them grace and authority to be a conduit of God's grace through the church.

The Holy Eucharist

The Sacrament of Sacraments. The Body and Blood of Christ, in the prayed-over Bread and Wine, fill us with new life and grace every week. We believe Christ is really and truly present in the bread and the wine.
