Sacred Acts – Baptism: This morning through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism God will declare Paul Joseph Lamberson, son of Michael and Kathleen (Vossler) Lamberson, as His very own child whom He dearly loves. Paul’s Godparents are Scott and Kelly Vossler. We praise God for the washing away of sin and the planting of the seed of faith in Christ that He works through the water and the Word of Holy Baptism. We pray that as Paul grows in years, he will be brought up in the Lord and remain in fellowship with Christ’s Church all the days of his life so that he will mature and remains steadfast in the faith that Jesus is the Savior and inherit eternal life in heaven.
