St. Paul’s Parish, Malden, invites you to a study of baptism in our daily lives

Did you ever wonder what being baptized really means? During Lent, St. Paul’s Parish, Malden (Episcopal Church) is studying how we can live into our baptismal promises in our daily lives, and invites the community to join us. Maybe you’ve never been baptized. Maybe you were an infant and you’ve never thought much about it. Or, maybe you’re wondering if being baptized and joining a church is necessary for a Christian life.

In the early church, baptism was offered to whole households – adults and children alike – and was an important part of Easter services. We’re studying baptism as a way to prepare for this coming Easter. What does baptism mean to an adult? What kind of commitment does it represent? How are we living up to that commitment?

At St. Paul’s, our mission is, “Welcoming and serving all in Christ’s Name.” Some of us have been worshiping at St. Paul’s for over 60 years. More and more of us are forty-somethings and under. We come from diverse cultures; we’re carnivores, locavores, vegans, blue-collar, white-collar, straight, gay and lesbian, married, single, left, right and center – all supporting each other in our quest to know and love God, our neighbors and ourselves.

Join us on Thursdays – March 27, April 3 and April 10 – at 6:30 p.m. for pizza (donations welcome, but not required), and stay for a conversation guided by the Rev. Stephen Voysey at 7 p.m. Also, please consider joining us for Holy Week services, beginning with Palm Sunday at 10 a.m. on April 13 and culminating with Easter Sunday on April 20, also at 10 a.m.

St. Paul’s is located at 26 Washington St. in Malden, Mass. For more information, please visit our website at https://stpaulsmalden.org, contact us at in**@st***********.org or call 781-324-9544.
