		If you wish to be baptized, confirmed, received, or to transfer your membership, please contact the church office.
	Baptism: In the Episcopal Church, you are considered a Christian and a member of the worldwide Body of Christ if you have been *baptized* in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. i.e. the historic Trinitarian Formula. To be an *active member* of the Body of Christ at St. Luke's on the Lake, you need to be baptized. If you or a member of your family are not baptized, please call the church and speak with a member of the clergy. We have baptismal classes several times a year.
	Confirmation: All active members are encourage to be *confirmed* in the Episcopal Church. The sacrament of Confirmation is a special service in which you re-affirm your baptismal vows and receive the "laying of of hands" by the Bishop of our Diocese. Being a confirmed Episcopalian is required if you want to serve in a leadership role of the Vestry, the governing body of our church.
	Received: Confirmed members of the Roman Catholic tradition are *"received"* into the Episcopal Church, not re-confirmed, by the Bishop.
	Transferring Memberships: If you have already been confirmed in another Episcopal Church, this should be documented through a *Letter of Transfer* from that church to St. Luke's on the Lake. Please contact the church office to request this membership transfer.
