"Do not be afraid of them, for I will be with you to protect you. I, the Lord, have spoken!" - Jeremiah 1:8
This Sunday will be celebrating the Sacrament of Holy Baptism at both churches. At the Tabor Church, we will be welcoming Jackson Alvin Straub into the Christian family. At the Oakfield Church, we will be bringing Morgan Budler-Ronzoni and Amaya Budler-Ronzoni into the fold. This is a time to celebrate!
In our reading from Jeremiah, he questions his abilities and doesn't think he is ready to do that which God calls him to do. God reassures him that God has known him from before he was formed in the womb. God knew what he was capable of; he knew his abilities. God would continue to be with him, no matter what befell him.
Our Baptism is our being welcomed into the brotherhood and sisterhood of Christians. Our parents, sponsors and church community continue to watch over us as we continue to grow in faith. God continues to watch over us, confident in us, even if we are not confident in ourselves.
The Scripture lessons for this Sunday are:
Jeremiah 1:4-10
Psalm 71:1-6
Luke 13:10-17
Hebrews 12:18-29
I certainly hope that you will be able to join us in worship as we renew our vows to watch over one another in love in the joy of Holy Baptism. Praise God!
