Living Water

Kali is baptized

Max is baptizedToday we welcomed into the household of God, Payton, Kali and Max. This week, all three newly baptized members of the Body of Christ will take part in our Kids in the Kingdom Week called Living Water, where we'll look at stories in scripture about water as we look toward discussing our own baptisms. The name for the week comes, of course, from John's Gospel (chapter 4) where Jesus told a Samaritan woman at the well that "whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life."

Payton is baptizedIt was that well at which the baptisms today took place, for we do not baptize, God does. And in Jesus, God promised Payton, Kali and Max, a well springing up to eternal life.

Check back this week and we'll have photos at the King of Peace website showing all the week's fun as we get drenched in God's love.

More living water
James visiting the font where he was baptizedI received this email and photos today from Matt Munro and family who are traveling in Germany:
Father Frank,

We just returned from church, the same church Jimmy was baptized in (see attached). There was a choir which sang beautifully; it was breathtaking!

I hope and pray all is well back in Georgia. We miss y'all terribly. Please let me know if you would like me to bring something back for you or the church.

Yours,

Matt, Birgit, James and Sarah <><

peace,
Frank+
