Such a DUH! moment... simple and profound... one of those head-banging moments of "why didn't I think of this before?)
Sunday was a bit playful...a romp through the faith stories of Hebrews 11 as our Consecration Sunday sermon. We had a "faith kit" with items that reminded us of the faith journeys of Hebrews and our own. The last item was the "water" poured into the font...
And as people brought their commitment cards forward, they were invited to touch the waters of baptism if they wished...reminding them of God who claims them, gives them life and resources, and cares for them every day of this faith journey.
A powerful symbol that combined so well with our stewardship and commitment journeys...
It's a keeper!
