Baptism at New Life Lutheran Church

Picture
Our Pastor says that presiding at Baptism is one of his favorite things to do as a pastor.  Feel free to contact Pastor Nate to schedule a baptism.  Holy Baptism is celebrated in a public worship setting.  

About Baptism:  Holy Baptism is one of two sacraments for Lutherans, the other being Holy Communion. Baptism is the entry rite into Christian faith. It is an act instituted by God, performed using water in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, whereby the baptized is united with Christ.  This sacrament is to be gratefully and responsibly received by faith within the community of believers.  For more information about the practices of this church regarding Holy Baptism please click here.

Merciful and most high God, creator and giver of life, you have called all people from darkness into light, from error into truth, from death into life. Grant grace to name/s and bless them. Raise them by your Spirit. Revive them by your word. Form them by your hand. Bring them to the water of life and to the bread and cup of blessing, that with all your people they may bear witness to your grace and praise you forever through Jesus Christ our Lord. --ELW Pastoral Care (Preparing for Baptism)

John 3.1-8, 16-17: Born of water and the Spirit
Romans 6. 3-11: Baptized into Christ's death and resurrection
2 Corinthians 5. 16-21: A new creation
Galatians 3. 26-28: Children of God through faith
