understand what we should do to serve you through our lives. Help

confused. In Jesus name we pray. Amen

All children ages 3 through Kindergarten are invited to Children’s Church during worship, following the Children’s Sermon. Participants will return to the sanctuary during the Invitation Song.
The flowers on the altar today were given by their parents in honor of Lizzie Mitchell’s Baptism/Confirmation and Weston Jester’s Confirmation.
The lighted candles on the altar are in memory of:
Wesley Jester - Weston’s grandfather Andrew Mitchell - Lizzie’s father.
The Baptismal Covenant is God’s Word to us, proclaiming our adoption by grace, and our word to God, promising our response of faith and love. Baptism initiates us into Christ’s whole Church and not only into a denomination. The United Methodist Church recognizes all Christian baptisms. United Methodists may baptize by any of the modes used by Christians. Candidates or their parents have the choice of sprinkling, pouring or immersion. Persons of any age are suitable candidates for baptism. On the day of Pentecost, Peter preached: “Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ so that your sins may be forgiven and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is for you and for your children” (Acts 2:38-39)
Those baptized before they are old enough to take the vows for themselves make their personal profession of faith in a service called confirmation.
After confirmation, or after baptism when candidates take the vows for themselves, Christians are encouraged to reaffirm their Baptismal Covenant.
