The writer brings us back to baptism as a reminder that we are all brothers and sisters to one another. Our congregation had a baptism event at our Maple Lake location. We extended an open invitation to the entire community to come for a time of instruction, worship, and then mass baptisms in the lake. Eighteen infants, children, and adults were welcomed into the kingdom of God that day. Part of the fun was seeing the shore filled with family, friends, and community members cheering each of the baptized as they emerged from the waters. Smiles and laughter were contagious. We gathered for a potluck lunch right afterwards. It was a great experience at being the family of God.
