Baptisms
Baptism is a public sacrament when God claims His sons and daughters as His own. First Lutheran celebrates baptisms one Sunday per month. Once a Sunday has been claimed by one family, that Sunday becomes the 'baptism Sunday' for that month.
Parents who wish to bring their children for baptism or adults who wish to be baptized are required to attend a baptismal preparation session. Every other month (the even months—February, April, etc.) they usually are on the first Saturday at 10:00 am in the entry of the church. Please contact the church by phone at 608.783.2236 or email the office to register.
Communion
Please know that ALL are welcome to worship, commune and participate in all church activities, programs and events. Communion cards are not required to participate in Holy Communion, but they help us know who is worshiping with us. Please fill out a communion card and hand it to an usher just before communion, or place it in an offering plate. Thanks!
Communion Instruction
First Lutheran’s communion practice is that “Parents may choose to include their child(ren) in Holy Communion any time after baptism after receiving instruction from a called Pastor at First Lutheran.” If you are a family who would like to include your baptized child(ren) at the rail, simply contact Pastor Stanton or Pastor Karyn.
