Sacred Acts – Baptisms: This morning Mackensie Mae Chandler and Alyshia Jae Chandler, daughters of Jayson and Angela (nee Tucker) Chandler will confess their faith in the Lord God, especially in Jesus Christ as their Savior from sin and death, through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism. At the same time, through the water and the Word of Baptism, God will wash away their sin and declare them to be His daughters whom He dearly loves. We congratulate Mackenzie and Alyshia and we pray that they will continue to hear, read, and study God’s Word and be active in the Church so that they will remain steadfast in the Christian faith all the days of their lives and obtain eternal life.

News and Notes for Sunday December 9, 2012

Sacred Acts - Baptism: This morning Harper Elizabeth Joyce, daughter of James and Jennifer (Scutt) Joyce will be baptized with water and in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Her Godparents are Aaron and Meghan Peters. We praise God for His great gift to us of Holy Baptism for through it He has washed away Harper’s sins, planted the seed of faith in Jesus as her Savior, and has declared her to be His very own child whom He dearly loves. We pray that as she grows in years she will be brought up in the knowledge of the Lord and faithfully be in His House so that her faith will grow, she will remain steadfast in Christ, all the days of her life, and obtain eternal life.
