Baptisms - the gift of receiving God's name and all that It gives!

Each year I am privileged to be able to baptize 10-20 people into the gracious name of our eternal God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
In two successive weeks in August (24th and 31st) we had these two babies baptized into God's eternal family.
It is not only a joy, but a solemn responsibility on my part and the congregation's part to nurture the life and faith begun in the waters of baptism. It regularly reminds me of my responsibility as a Christian parent to my children and God-children.
