Through baptism we become members of Christ\u2019s Body, the Church, and continue the work of Christ in the world: healing, reconciling, loving, and welcoming. Baptism is incorporation into God\u2019s own life. In baptism we are assured of acceptance as God\u2019s children and are sealed by the Holy Spirit, claimed and made Christ\u2019s own forever. Something so important deserves careful and deliberate preparation and discernment.<\/p>\n<p>Because baptism is the outward and visible action that connects a person to God in a covenant relationship, it belongs in public worship, rather than private ceremony. As such, baptisms are offered in the context of the Chapel&#8217;s ongoing liturgical life. At the service, members of the congregation renew their own baptismal vows and welcome the newly baptized into the community of faith.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to move forward with baptism at Trinity College Chapel, you should first contact our chaplain, <a href=\"mailto:marcus.halley@trincoll.edu\">The Rev.
