THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
JANARUY 11, 2015
From the Pastor’s Desk
THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
When new sod is put in, it needs constant saturation with water. Landscapers say that this “knits” the sod to the soil. The same
when a branch is grafted onto a tree: the poultice that joins them at
the splice must be kept wet at all times. Water is the stuff that
binds the very cells of our bodies together. No wonder religions
throughout all times and cultures have used it so prominently.
When Jesus stepped into the Jordan for baptism, he “knit” himself
to what had come before him. By going to the Jordan, he made
himself one with the people of Israel who had crossed it into their
Promised Land. With John the Baptist, Christ wove himself into
the prophetic tradition that heralded the coming reign of God. He
had become fully human in the waters of Mary’s womb, and by
partaking in the rite of the baptism of repentance, Jesus identified
himself with our sinful, frail humanity. It is through the waters of
baptism that Christ continues to graft new members onto his Body,
the Church; through these waters we are cleansed from sin and
filled with the promise of grace, given our destiny for eternal life.
For us, as for Jesus, it is also the waters of baptism that inaugurate
our mission to proclaim the Good News.

Community Food Bank
The pantry volunteers and clients are very grateful for all of your ongoing support. We cannot serve
those in need without your help. In December, we served
302 families, totaling 625 people, including 3 new
families. (Bad weather resulted in low turnout.)
At this time of remembering what to be thankful for, we
gratefully acknowledge donations from Faith Lutheran, Desert
Hills Presbyterian, St. Mary's, St. Christopher’s, Good Shepherd
Lutheran, Stater Bros., Joshua Tree Rotary, and all of the generous
individuals and organizations who give to the pantry. We thank
Pete Poillon for his many years of service travelling to FIND Food
Bank in Indio on the first Tuesday of each month. Beginning in
January 2015, Vern Monroe has volunteered to travel to FIND to
pick up food once per month. May you all have a happy and
healthy Christmas season, and may the peace of our Lord Jesus
Christ be with you.
Beginning January 1st, 2015, the pantry will be
open only on the second and fourth Wednesday of each
month. Therefore, if you are going to donate perishable
food, such as onions or potatoes, please donate them on the
second or fourth Monday each month to avoid having the
items go bad. Non-perishable foods can be donated at any
time. Thank you everyone for your generosity. Please keep
up the good work that our Lord has called us to do.

Banco de Comida Comunitario
Gracias por sus generosas donaciones. En octubre servimos 556 familias, un total de 1032 gentes. No funcionaria este
banco de comida sin sus donaciones. Pero todavía estamos necesitando artículos como: Crema de cacahuate, sopas enlatadas,
fruta enlatada, papas, carne enlatada, leche en polvo etc. Todas
las donaciones son grandemente apreciadas. No aceptamos ropa.
Este banco es una organización no-lucrativa 501 C3, asi que el
valor de su donación es deducible de impuestos. Para mas información, contactar al Diacono Glenn al 760-364-3957.
Comenzando enero, el Banco estara abierto solo el 2do.
y 4to. Miercoles de 9 a 11 de la manana.
LAS AGUAS BAUTISMALES
Cuando se planta un césped nuevo, debe regarse constantemente. Los jardineros dicen que esto “teje” el césped al suelo. Lo mismo
sucede cuando se injerta una rama a un árbol: el cataplasma que los
une debe estar húmedo en todo momento. El agua es lo que mantiene
unidas a las células de nuestro cuerpo. Con razón las religiones de
todas las épocas y culturas han usado tanto este símbolo. Cuando
Jesús se sumerge en el Jordán para ser bautizado, se “teje” a todo
aquello que lo precedía. Al sumergirse en el Jordán, se hizo uno con
el pueblo de Israel que había cruzado el río para llegar a su Tierra
Prometida. Junto a Juan Bautista, Cristo se tejió a la tradición profética que presagiaba la venida del Reino de Dios. Jesús se había
convertido plenamente en humano en las aguas del vientre de María
y al participar del rito del Bautismo del arrepentimiento, se sintió
identificado con nuestra frágil y pecaminosa humanidad. Por las
aguas del Bautismo Cristo continúa injertando nuevos miembros a
su Cuerpo, la Iglesia; gracias a nuestro destino de vida eterna, por
estas aguas somos limpiados del pecado y recibimos la promesa de
la gracia. Para nosotros, como para Jesús, las aguas bautismales
también inauguran nuestra misión de proclamar la Buena Nueva.
