Baptism Celebration!

On Sunday, April 16, 2010 we baptized five children: Luke, Alexandra, Eliza, Ian and Charlotte. We had 154 attending and was certainly a wonderful celebration! Pastor Gwyneth met with the families of each of these children to discuss the meaning of baptism (for a detailed article on baptism in the Methodist tradition, read By Water and the Spirit or for a shorter description read Your Baptism Liturgy) and the seriousness and joy with which the baptismal vows are spoken - both by parents and sponsors, and by the congregation. Both Pastors Jamie and Gwyneth, as well as Rev. John Folley led the baptism service. Here's all the info if you were unable to attend worship:
