New life

I can't wait until Sunday. It's going to be a big day at church. We'll begin with a very special family dedication service within our worship service. Jamie and Ingrid Todd were told they couldn't have any children. Yet through a miracle, Gorman was born earlier this year. As Jamie tells it, he got word that Ingrid was pregnant almost at the same time he decided to give his life to Christ. They look at it as a miracle of Biblical proportions.

They will be coming to worship to give thanks to God for the precious gift that they have in their son. It doesn't get better than that. Or does it? After the sermon we will be heading out to Camp Wightman where Ingrid and Jamie will join Jesley Souvenance in the waters of Christian baptism. The three of them will confess their faith in Christ and begin their Christian walk.

New life. That's what our faith is all about. Whether it is in the birth a tiny child or in the first few steps of a lifetime of faithfulness, our faith opens the door to wonder and joy. I hope you can be with us on Sunday as we taste the goodness of God.
