Baptism of Christ Sunday Tending to Grace: Reaffirming Our Baptism 1/12 @ 10am, on-site & online via Zoom at http://zoom.us/j/907548568
We often think of baptism as a one-and-done. And yes, in our tradition, we don’t need to be rebaptized over and over again because we believe God’s love “takes” the first time; in fact, God’s love predates our baptism. It’s once and forever. But it’s good for us to come back to the waters of baptism to tend to the grace God has planted in us, to remember, reaffirm, and even re-imagine what that baptism can mean for us and the world. (Luke 3)
