1) “The holy, catholic church...” What's the Deal? It's a sign! It's a seal! It's a sacrament! It's all those things and more! Baptism marks us, not only as children of God, but as a part of the Body of Christ in the world. In this workshop we'll learn what this means for us and for the community of faith. Melanie Rasnake, New Providence Presbyterian Church, Director of Children’s Ministries
2) What’s Baptism got to do with my Name? Each of us has a unique name that we're pretty fond of. But there's talk about when you get baptized you get a new name - what's going on? Why would you want or need another name? We will check out what's going on with our names - our identity, our family connection, etc. And we'll see what baptism has to do with these parts of who we are. Rev. David Webster, Concord Presbyterian Church
