RenewyourBaptismToday  Each year as we observe Jesus’ own baptism today, we will

have the opportunity to renew our ownbaptism. This “renewing by remembering”may be somewhat parallel to renewing ofwedding vows or even getting “booster shots,”giving us a chance to renew that change in our

lives when we were washed in Christ, clothedwith his garments, renewed in a mind morelike his.

You are invited to come dip your hands inthe baptismal waters and hear the words ofpromise that we are made new again in Christ;To remember your own baptism, renew yourdecision to live “In Christ” through hisbaptism, his death and through his risingagain, and to share our baptism story withothers.
