Getting Wet

The power of water. I remember long ago in my chemistry class, learning something about H20 and the scientific reasons why water has such power in the world. Something about how the two hydrogens and one oxygen are put together... Not only can it carve out something like the Grand Canyon, but it is THE thing that sustains life.

The life of Light of the World got its start with water yesterday. We baptized baby Donovan into God's family and into this new faith community. It was the first time we ever worshiped together. How beautiful.

The power of community.

With three splashes on Donovan's head and God's promise, Donovan was made part of the life and death and resurrection of Jesus. With words spoken out loud, the Light of the World community promised to help Donovan's parents raise him in the faith. With three splashes of water on Donovan's head, he now belongs not only to God and to his parents, he also belongs to US.

The power of God. Oh, the power of God!
