Times-Advocate, 1987-04-08, Page 21Baptisms at Tkames Road Churck By MRS. WILLIAM ROHDE The Fifth Sunday of Lent church setvice was in charge of Rev. Robert Matheson. A real good crowd was in attendance. Rev. Robert Matheson told the childrens story entitled "Life In The Spirit". The Sacrament of Baptism was administered to Brenda Anne and Susan Patricia daughters of John and Laurel Miner and Matthew Murray, son of Murray and Cheryl Stewart. We welcome the children in.- to n=to the family of Christ. The choir sang a delightful number accompanied by the organist Miss Agnes Bray. The Scripture Lesson was read from Ezekiel 37:1-14, Romans 8:6-11, John 11:1-53 and the sermon was en- titled "Angels of Mercy: Angels of Life". - During the season of Lent we often are preoccupied by the steps Jesus took along the road leading to the cross. Today's passages of Scripture point beyond the season of Lent and even beyond Easter! In Ezekiel 37:1-14 we find a battle field littered with the bones of dead fighters. With the aid of the Spirit of God these bones receive new life. This passage reminds us of how God resurrects His people - physical- ly and spiritually. The visitaton of the Spirit in this passage reminds us of the visitation of the Spirit at Pent cost. At that time follower:; of Christ were baptised by the Spirit. To- day we celebrate the baptism of three young people. We pray they will be forever open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Jesus points us to the true Way of Life. He points us to a life which over- comes physical death. Living with and in the Spirit means we are always a Child of God - always open to and receiving His blessings through Jesus Christ His Son.
