Dear Friends,
This coming Sunday five young people will affirm their baptismal vows made by their parents and sponsors. It is so exciting for me still, after all these years, to see young people make promises and receive a blessing. It's a great time to reflect on our affirmation of baptism promises:
Do you intend to continue in the covenant God made with you in holy baptism:
- to live among God’s faithful people,
- to hear the word of God and share in the Lord’s supper,
- to proclaim the good news of God in Christ through word and deed,
- to serve all people, following the example of Jesus, and
- to strive for justice and peace in all the earth?
Confirmands:
I do, and I ask God to help and guide me.
May God help us in our own promises and guide us in being faithful.
We pray: God of the cosmic universe, you have claimed confirmands in their baptisms, and in ours too, for a sacred journey through life with you. Bestow on us courage to fulfill our promises we have made, and grant us joy along the way. Amen
Pastor Jim

Serve the Body and Blood of Christ
Help serve communion on the 2nd & 4th Sundays each month. It's easy:
- Take one of the crosses from the stand.
- Place it around your neck.
- Come forward when the cue appears on the screen.
- If serving bread say, “Body of Christ, given for you.”
- If serving wine/grape juice say, “Blood of Christ, shed for you.”
- Wine servers bless the children saying, “Jesus loves you.”
