Why do we open up the Baptismal Font during Holy Communion? Simple, to remind you of your Baptism. Through it you were made God's child. You were marked with "the sign of the cross both upon your forehead and upon your heart, to mark you as one redeemed by Christ the Crucified." If you wish you can dip your fingers in the water and remember your baptism by retracing the cross on your forehead.
Mercy
Please submit names today for the Role of the Saints to be read on all Saints Sunday next week. We send them by email to pastor@TrinityCreston.org or write a note and put it in Pastor Watt's mailbox.
Building Healthy Families: Martin Luther encouraged us to remember our baptism every day as we take a shower or wash our face. He wrote, “In baptism, our sinful selves are drowned, and day by day a new self arises.” Take time today as you wash to remember your baptism and remind your children of the meaning of theirs! Happy Reformation Sunday from the staff and Board of Directors of Lutheran Family Service! Lutheran Family Service of Iowa (515) 251-4900.
Life Quote: “Many view abortion as a purely political issue that we shouldn’t be talking about. The devil loves that kind of thinking. For if we never talk about the idolatry of abortion, we abandon those who have been vanquished by it to the dark hopelessness of their sin. Those vanquished by abortion never hear that God has restored them, along with all sinners, as joyful victors.” Rev. Dr. James I .Lamb, executive director of Lutherans For Life – A “Life Quote” from Lutherans For Life · www.lutheransforlife.org
