well pleased

Saturday January 15th, Matthew 3: 16 As soon as Jesus was baptized, he went up out of the water. At that moment heaven was opened, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and lighting on him. 17 And a voice from heaven said, "This is my Son, whom I love; with him I am well pleased." At your baptism God claims you as a child of God. At your baptism, the community claims you as a fellow child of God. Jesus changed John’s baptism from a washing for repentance into a calling for service. In this service there are no lone rangers, we are all there as the community of believes called to help one another through this life. We welcome you to the Lord’s family; we receive you as a fellow member of the body of Christ and a worker with us in the kingdom of God.
