Women of Zion Joint Bible Study on August 14
Although a person is baptized once, the gift of baptism continues throughout a Christian’s life. This year’s Bible study, “Come to the Waters”, explores the sacrament of baptism, and focuses particularly on what it means to live a baptismal life.
“The Rev. Karen Bockelman, assistant to the bishop in the Northeastern Minnesota Synod of the ELCA, will guide readers through the rich images and meanings of baptism and how that sacrament shapes our lives and vocations. “Come to the Waters” is an invitation to “walk wet”- to remember, affirm, and celebrate baptism throughout life. These sessions will look at the waters of baptism through the lenses of Scripture, Lutheran tradition, personal experience, and the call to act boldly in and for justice. “
This is our primary vocation, our calling, lived out in the world. So, come to the waters. Explore the riches of the Bible. Deepen your understanding of baptism. Consider your calling. And prepare to get wet!
Meet on Thursday, August 14 at 7pm at Pastor Becky’s home for Pie and Ice cream along with a lot of good fellowship , and if you would like to read ahead, the study is available online.
