Rite of Holy Baptism   BAPTISM CLASS: Baptism Class is required for families preparing for their first baptism at Shepherd of the Valey (SOTV). This class is offered every first Thursday of the month, and is led by Pastor Mary Lund. Parents are welcome to bring babies to class as KidCare is not available. To register contact Merilu Narum at (952) 985-7326 or register online. WHEN ARE BAPTISMS? SOTV celebrates the Sacrament of Baptism every second weekend of the month during regular worship services and, as needed, every third weekend of the month at a separate baptism service at 12:30 and in the summer months (June-August) at 12 Noon. TO SCHEDULE A BAPTISM: Please contact Merilu Narum at (952) 985-7326 to schedule your baptism with the church one to two months in advance. In addition to completing our baptism class (see above), baptism forms must be completed prior to scheduling a baptism. Forms are available online and at the Welcome Center.         TOP
