Baptism

On August 23 there was a baptism at the Church of Peace. Here I am standing with the little boy and his parents in front of two of the banners we use at the sacrament; one of the Holy Spirit descending, and another of the Rainbow promise after the flood.

I am reminded of the deep support expressed for little children. In addition to the promises of parents, congregants and God, there is a world of support from an extended family. This day was truly heartwarming; brothers, sisters, aunts and uncles, grandmother and more. Many from out of town and out of state. Every single little child represents a whole community of love and support, which he can only come to understand as the years unfold.

Thanks be to God.
