Connie's Corner
It was an all-out family affair as folks came from near and far to celebrate the baptism of Jude Evan Price. It was pure joy to watch family and friends take their place and fill the pews of Centenary. Jude’s grandmother said early on, “It might be noisy, we have lots of children.” I responded,” We love children, and we love noise!”
 
Jude’s parents and godparents presented him for infant baptism. We affirmed our own commitment to Christ and promised to nurture one another and to include young Jude in our care. We promised to surround him with a community of love so that he might grow in his service to others. We also promised to pray for him, that he might be a true disciple who walks in the way that leads to life.
 
And so, his faith journey begins as God entrusted him back into the care of his parents and into the care of this congregation. May we be found faithful in our commitment to Jude and his family as we join together to participate in the ministries of the church by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, and our service, that in everything God may be glorified. It is an awesome responsibility, but it is the greatest joy!
 
We could almost hear God’s voice amid the excitement and joy, .Jude Evan Price, you are my beloved son, and I am well pleased. It was definitely a family affair with God our Father in our midst. 
Think About It…Connie
