A Call to the Font | St. John's Episcopal Church

Easter Vigil
Saturday, Apr 11, 7:30 pm
St. John's Church

When we think baptism, we think babies. But it doesn’t have to be the case. This year the clergy of St. John’s want to extend a special invitation to those who are not infants to be baptized at the Easter Vigil service on Saturday, April 11. The only requirements are that you have not been previously baptized and that you live into the Baptismal Covenant. Baptism is full initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ's Body, the church.

If you are considering being baptized, please contact a member of the clergy Gideon ([email protected]) or Mary Beth ([email protected]).

News

St. John's Episcopal Church was the first religious institution to be established in Cold Spring Harbor. The first Episcopalian services were held in the little 18th century school house just above the site of the present church. The very first Vestry minutes, written in fine script on September 4, 1831, lists the founders who pledged $2,000 to build a new church.

Like our lives, our church community is a gift from God we neither earn nor deserve, and yet, it is ours. We are responsible for caring for it, for nourishing it, and for participating in the ever outpouring gift of God's grace which we share through our actions together. We are stewards of these gifts for as long as we live, and we steward the gift of this church so that future generations will have the opportunity to receive God’s grace and put it into action.

Our whole life and ministry is “Grace in Action.”
