A video began making the rounds on Facebook earlier this week. You may have seen it. Since it involves baptism - and many of my Facebook friends are fellow pastors - it was all over my newsfeed. The video depicts a series of infant baptisms in what appears to be a Russian Orthodox Church.

Support Prison Ministries
|
Epiphany weekends: February 2-5 and February 17-20
Please help support
ministries reaching out to those who are in
prison! Several members of our congregation are part of
ministry teams that go into Texas
prisons, offering Christ's love and redemption. Epiphany
Ministries share the story of God's love, grace, and forgiveness to incarcerated youth; Kairos
Ministries offer the same to adults who are imprisoned.
For $5, you can purchase a meal ticket, which provides a meal for an inmate participating in a
ministry weekend. Your meal ticket offers them a tangible reminder that they still have value and that they are not forgotten. You can also sign-up to pray for the weekend! Simply add your name to the prayer chain at the Connection Center and make a commitment to pray for all those involved in the weekends: the inmates, the
ministry team, the
prison chaplain and staff.
We have an Epiphany weekend coming up
Feb. 17-20, for incarcerated teenage girls. We are also supporting a new Epiphany Ministry in Kansas, the first weekend on February. Please sign-up today to support the Lord's work to the least, the last, and the lost in our
prisons. For more info, contact
Trudy Smith
