Baptism and communion (the Lord's Supper) are the two sacraments celebrated in the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.).

Baptism is a sign of God's love for us and that we are welcome in God's family. Presbyterians believe baptism is not required for the "salvation of the soul." Rather it is public recognition that God's love and grace reach out to people, including the youngest child, even before we can begin to unfold the rich dimensions of a life of faith.

Communion is a sacrament of grace.  In the sacrament of communion, the church acts out the drama of God's love for humankind.  People hungering for faith and hope and love are fed and then sent to share this food with others.  We celebrate communion 26 times a year: on the first Sundays of most months; Sundays in Advent and Eastertide, and most special services.
