Preached by Rev. Erik Kindem.
Scripture: Mark 12:28-34
Summary
Holy places around the world are built around springs, rivers, or sources of water. Why is this so? Because water is sacred. The relative we cannot live without.
On this baptism Sunday we gather around the sacred waters of thefont to witness the naming and claiming by God of another beloved child. Our gathering takes place at the confluence of two rivers: the RIVER CALLED GRACE and the waters of THE CEDAR—the SOURCE from which this baptismal water flows.
