Unbinding Begins

If you were in class today, you know that we're going to try to use this blog as a way to communicate as we journey through Unbinding together. Please feel free to comment as you are able.

A thought about today:
Some of you were in worship at 11 when we had a baptism. It was truly amazing to be a part of God claiming Olivia Belle as a child. As I held her in my arms I was able to watch her cry when she woke up to getting cool water on her head and stop crying and close her eyes again as I prayed for her to be blessed by the Holy Spirit. I saw her watch her mom intently while we sang "Jesus Loves Me" to her. The presence of God's love was a definable feeling for me today in worship. I felt blessed to be a part of the work of the Spirit at that sacred moment. Truly one of the best things I get to do as a pastor!

Do you remember your baptism?

• If you don't remember, ask your parents about that day.
