In the waters of baptism, we realize loving inclusion into God’s family, are given God’s own life to share, and are reminded that nothing can separate us from God’s love in Christ. The bond which God establishes in Baptism is indissoluble.
We would be grateful to celebrate baptism for your family and friends!
