Baptism
At First Presbyterian, when a baby is born or adopted, we place a rose in the front of the church and note the child's arrival in the bulletin. We welcome the new baby, show how happy we are that there is a new child among us, and give thanks for this new life. If you are considering having your baby baptized please visit our Baptism page to find out more.
