We hold new member orientation sessions at least twice per year, on a Tuesday or Thursday evening before Reformation Sunday (October) or Palm Sunday (spring). 

Becoming a member consists of attending this orientation class as well as New Member Sunday, when we receive the group of new members through an Affirmation of Baptism ritual at the 8:15am worship service. An informal New Member reception takes place after the service during coffee hour in our Community Room that day.
