Dear Friends,
Pastor Notes
The Christmas Season officially wraps up with the
celebration of the Baptism of the Lord today. Jesus
entered the Jordan and shared in the waters of Baptism
so that we too might share His life that He would offer
to us through the Passion and Resurrection. What a
great gift this is! As we continue to commit ourselves
to faith-filled resolutions this month, let us "resolve"
to renew our Baptismal promises to live like Jesus.
Reading Scripture on a regular basis helps us to know
the mind and heart of Christ so that we can imitate Him
more perfectly.
May we live up to the great promises of our Baptism,
so we can share in Faith's promise of Eternal Life!
In God's Peace,
Fr. Austin

The Lord
