For those of you who don't know--which upon reflection, could be a fair few-- I have decided to be baptized "again"... I say "again" because I was sprinkled at the age of three. As a middle school student, I went through confirmation class and took my first communion on the Sunday we had the confirmation service. I look at that time as my public declaration of my belief in Christ as my savior.
Over the past few months, I've caught a few sermons (on the radio, mostly) talking about the purpose of baptism and God's charge to new believers. While I have been a believer for years, I've decided that a "conscious" baptism would be a good way to reconfirm my faith publicly.
I have talked with Pastor Mike and a few other leaders in the church. They all expressed that baptism is a wonderful way to worship our Holy Trinity, proclaiming my intent to follow in the footsteps of Christ. Baptism has been compared to marriage vows; an experience that can be meaningfully repeated, but does not necessarily need to occur annually. I am confident that my heavenly Father will value this recommitment and I am excited to share my baptism with you, my church family.
In Him,
Beth

For those of you who are just getting to know me, I'm somewhat of an avid reader... granted, about half of the books I devour each month are for children--I like a quick fix: beginning, middle, and end in 100ish pages--but regardless, I'm thoroughly excited about a recent pair of purchases. After last Sunday's inspiring God Trek (part 2), Chris and I purchased "A Case for Faith" and "A Case for Christ," both by Lee Sobel. Chris has voraciously begun the latter and I am relishing the idea of beginning myself. Beth
