On this Baptism of the Lord Sunday, won't you consider your own baptism and what it means for you, for your church, and for the world?
"We give thanks for all that God has already given us. As members of the body of Christ and in this congregation of The United Methodist Church, we will faithfully participate in the ministries of the church by our prayers, our presence, our gifts, our service, and our witness, that in everything God may be glorified through Jesus Christ."
From the Baptismal Covenant IV, The United Methodist Hymnal (1989).
