News and Notes for Sunday, July 15, 2012

Sacred Acts – Baptism: This morning through the water and the Word of Holy Baptism, our Lord God will claim Arieanna Elizabeth Porter as His daughter whom He dearly loves. Arieanna’s parents are Robert Porter and Kristin Fahs. Her Godparents are William Fahs and Caitlyn Slep. We praise God that through this Sacrament He has planted in Arieanna’s heart the seed of faith in Jesus as her Savior and made her His very own child. We pray that as she grows in years, she hears and is taught God’s Word and remains in communion with the Church so that she may mature in the Christian faith, especially growing and remaining steadfast in the belief that Jesus is her Savior from sin and death, and thereby obtain the crown of righteousness, eternal life.
