Sacred Acts – Baptism: God through Holy Baptism will claim Emily Jane Stuck, daughter of Eric and Ashley Stuck, as one of His beloved daughters. Emily’s Godparents are Kyle Lupo and Laura Smith. We praise God for His gifts through Baptism and we pray that Emily will, throughout her life, hear, read and study God’s Word, especially the gift of salvation because of Jesus’ suffering, death, and resurrection, so that she, by the power of the Holy Spirit, will remain and grow in the Christian faith and obtain eternal life.
