Church should be a space that is full of celebrations from the very beginning of our life to the very end, and be with us every step of the way.
Whether you are looking for details about baptisms, weddings, and funerals, you can find information about these services here. PC (USA) recognizes two sacraments, which are both often celebrated in worship: baptism and communion.
Finally, there are special celebrations built into the church calendar every year, such as during Advent or Lent.
Communion is one of two sacraments recognized by Reformed Christians.
At ORPC, communion is celebrated using bread and grape juice as symbols for Jesus’ last supper. All are welcome to partake in The Lord’s Supper – regardless of age, membership, or baptismal status. Usually, ORPC uses Intinction to celebrate communion, wherein individuals take a piece of bread, dips it in the grape juice, and can immediately partake. A gluten-free station is always available. We want all to feel welcomed and included at the table God has set before us.
Baptism is God's gracious gift given by Jesus Christ. We believe baptism should be available to all persons in the church, so an individual may be baptized at any age. We baptize babies because we believe children are included in God's covenant of grace. Traditionally, those baptized as infants are "confirmed" in their faith as a young person. If you have questions, contact Pastor Marti Reed Hazelrigg.
If you have questions or interest in ORPC’s baptismal process, contact Pastor Marti Reed Hazelrigg.
