Celebrate Your Baptism

How exciting it is when we welcome a new child of God to our church family!! We recently received Sawyer John as a child of God through his baptism.  This Sunday, July 29th, Hector James will be baptized and made a child of God.  These two babies are such a joy!

Seeing the water poured and the sign of the cross marked on their heads remind us to consider the importance of baptism as followers of Christ.  Most of us don’t remember our own baptisms as we were babies too young to recall.  As adults, we know the meanings behind the symbols of water, the cross, and the words that are said during the ceremony.  As members of the church, we answer to God as we promise to help all newcomers be Christians, be Methodists, and be a part of the church family.

As we watch each child and hear the words, remember that these things are also burned into our own hearts and lives.  Celebrate with them!!
