Called, Enlightened, Sanctified, for the work of Jesus Christ.

Saturday January 13th, Luke 3: 21 When all the people were being baptized, Jesus was baptized too. And as he was praying, heaven was opened 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: "You are my Son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased." As the child is brought into the midst of the congregation, and the hands are placed on the child, we say, “we welcome you to the Lord’s family; we receive you as a fellow member of the Body of Christ and worker with us in the Kingdom of God. We are the collective voice of God saying, You are our child, whom we love; with you we are well pleased, and with you we will journey through life together, brothers and sisters in Christ. We welcome you as a fellow sojourner as we attempt to live out God’s calling for our lives at this time through our combined ministries at Christ Our Savior Lutheran Church.” God is there with each of us as we are called to be with each and every baptized, Called, Enlightened, Sanctified, for the work of Jesus Christ.
