Baptism

At the First United Methodist Church of Orange, we celebrate the sacrament of Holy Baptism at various times throughout the year during our Sunday morning worship service.

Baptism is a sacrament of new life and initiation, specifically as a disciple of Jesus Christ in the church. It is symbolic of such things as dying and rising with Christ, being washed clean of sins, and receiving the Holy Spirit.

We believe baptism has to do with God’s promise to us and not our promise to God.

To schedule a baptism, please contact the pastor through the church office.

 

 

Sunday School

Children begin in the Worship Service. During the Worship Service, children are invited to come forward for a Children's Moment. Following the Children's Moment, our wonderful and well-prepared teachers greet the children and walk them to their age appropriate Sunday School classes. We offer classes for pre-school age through sixth grade.

Children crib-age through two years are able to go directly to the nursery.

The Worship Service begins at 10:30 so we hope to see you there!

Acolytes

Service as an acolyte in Christian worship is one of the most important services a youth can render to the worship life of the church. The acolytes are youth who have undergone training classes. They lead the weekly worship procession by bringing in and taking out the “Light of Christ”, the Bible, and the processional cross or liturgical banner. They also assist with communion and offering. Any youth in 5th grade or higher is invited to attend acolyte training and to become a part of this very special ministry.
