1 FIRST UNITED METHODIST CHURCH Covington, TN September 27, 2017 A Bi-Monthly Publication On Baptism I ve often been asked why we christen infants in the United Methodist Church? Truth be told, we don t. We baptize them. I grew up in a tradition which emphasized something known as believer s baptism. In other words, a young person waited until they felt they were old enough (usually eleven or twelve years of age) to make a decision for themselves accepting Christ as Lord and Savior. Baptism was the culminating and dramatic event which signified full church membership. There was much good about that process. It certainly caused a young person to grapple with important questions for themselves. To try and understand deep meanings. However, I wonder if any of us can fully understand what is happening in the mysterious sacrament of baptism? We Methodists baptize infants in the ancient tradition of the Church. We believe baptism (whether it be of an infant, a toddler, an adolescent or a grandparent) is the celebration of that grace which surrounds us and ushers us into the Christian life. We term such grace prevenient grace. God through this community called the Church is always at work teaching, actively loving, correcting and modeling what it means to be Christian and baptism ushers us into the community. Baptism symbolizes the faithful work of the community and begins a lifelong journey of salvation for the one who is receiving the sacrament. Henri Nouwen s words are most helpful: When parents have their children baptized they indicate their desire to have the children grow up and live as children of God and brothers or sisters of Jesus, and be guided by the Holy Spirit. Through birth a child is given to parents; through baptism the parents acknowledge that their parenthood is a participation in God s parenthood, that all fatherhood and motherhood comes from God. Thus, baptism frees the parents from a sense of owning their children. Children belong to God and are given to the parents to love and care for in God s name. It is the parent s vocation to welcome their children as honored guests in their home and bring them to the physical, emotional, and spiritual freedom that enables them to leave home and become parents themselves. Baptism reminds parents of this vocation and sets children on the path to freedom. I ve found that one of the best ways for the Church to be the Church is to talk with young parents about baptism. Perhaps you know someone who would want to have this conversation? Feel free to share this article with them and/or encourage them to give me a call.

The sounds are fantastic. Earlier this week met with a young man who stated he had just received his two year old son, Dakota, from children services earlier in the week. Stated the child had been abused while in the child s mother s care. The young father briefly described details regarding his son s injuries and neglect. I must admit, it was so painful to hear the details to this precious child. Dakota still had remnants of the abuse on his body but his spirit was amazing. He walked all around the church just jabbering about everything. He was very occupied with the credenza doors and laughed at his success with the doors. Just a precious child of God. Request your prayers for Dakota and his future. Thank you for your Samaritan gifts to make their lives better. And I am so thankful for the services (and sounds) of the MPNS which provides a safe and loving environment to our children. COUNSELING Faye Beckett, D.C.C. Doctorate in Christian Counseling.
