Baptism is a ritual that has been part of
the church since John the Baptist baptized
Jesus in the Jordan River.
It's a sacrament we particularly love at Trinity because it's a celebration of beginnings, of naming, of caring, of potential, of possibilities, and it reminds us of our own baptisms. Is there a new member of your family who you might want to have baptized at Trinity? Did you skip baptism yourself when you were younger and are wondering about it now? We very warmly welcome your inquiries.... Please call the Vicar, the Rev. Heidi Truax, at (860)435-2627. Thank you for your interest! |

Questions and answers about baptism at
Trinity Lime Rock:
Q. How much does it cost to have your baby baptized at Trinity? A. Nothing. It's free.
Q. How do you schedule baptisms? A. We baptize during the regular Sunday morning service and at several special services each year. No special service is required. For infant baptisms, we do ask that the parent or parents meet with Pastor Heidi to discuss it beforehand.
Q. Do I have to know people at Trinity or be a member of Trinity for my baby to be baptized there? A. Absolutely not -- but once your baby is baptized at Trinity, you'll know lots of us!
Q. Our child is adopted, and we don't know whether they were baptized before. Does that make a difference? A. Just tell Pastor Heidi this beforehand. There are special words she says in just that case.
Q. I'm not an Episcopalian. Can my baby still be baptized? A. Yes indeed. Pastor Heidi can provide you with the information you'll need. |
We admit it. We love babies!
Our Vicar is the mother of four. Our
Senior Warden is the mother of five.
Our previous Senior Warden is the mother of
three. And our chapter of the
Episcopal Church Women gives a teddy bear to
everyone baptized at Trinity.
Did you know that as part of the Baptismal service the whole congregation promises to always be there for the person being baptized? |
