This past Sunday Fred Edie came and shared with us about Baptism. Very often we don't think much about how Baptism affects our lives as Christians. Through this Series we want to revisit Baptism and how it does just that. Fred began by helping us think more about how important water is to the human condition and also how Water was a main image in both the Old and New Testament. This led to the importance of how Water Baptism was used in the Christian Community to be a symbol of our sins being washed away and a sign of how we are reborn in through Christ. Because of this Water image we can see how we are connected to the Patriarchs, Hebrews, and Prophets of the Old Testament and the ministry of Jesus in the New. Next week Tracy will be stretching our experiences as we continue to talk about Baptism.
