Faith In Action

Today we witnessed your baptism and your baptism marks the beginning of a journey for you. Today as you came forward, the church publicly acknowledged your identity as a child of God, as God's beloved! Today you are joining the company of those who have pledged and been pledged to follow in the footsteps of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ who was crucified and rose again.
Know that being a Christian is a team sport, it's like being part of an orchestra; you can't play or go it alone. Today that community makes a vow to care for you, to be your mentor and spiritual guide, to initiate and welcome you into this life of being a follower of Jesus Christ.
Mason, you are now a child of the covenant and in baptism you are sealed by the Holy Spirit and marked as Christ's own forever and the prayer of me and your dad is that you will continue your walk with Christ; knowing and feeling His love always!
