Baptism of Christ
Worship @ 9:30 am
In the Sanctuary
Rev. Karen E. Gale preaching
"Named and Claimed"
"Baptism of Christ" David Zelenka, 2005
On the day of Jesus' baptism, water was poured or splashed or surrounded Jesus, and he emerged to hear the voice of God naming him "Beloved" and one in whom God was so pleased.
On the day of your baptism, water was poured or sprinkled or surrounded you, and in the next moment God pronounced you beloved, and a community welcomed you. God was so pleased with you.
We are named and claimed by God in a ritual that makes us part of a church community, set on a journey that is lifelong and life changing. What does Jesus' baptism tell us about our own?
