Taufgottesdienst und Feier neuer Gemeindeglieder und -freunde…
Gestern wurde das Taufwasser von allen Kindern unserer Gemeinde gesegnet, bevor wir es in das Taufbecken gegossen haben. Der kleine Jake Matthew wurde getauft und in die Gemeinde aufgenommen. Sein aelterer Bruder Tom bekam auch ein Wasserkreuz auf seine Stirn als Erinnerungszeichen seiner Taufe als er noch ein Baby war. Tom zuendete auch seine Taufkerze an und dann bekamen alle Kinder eine Kerze die sie an Jake’s Taufkerze entzuendeten. 17 Kerzen wurden hochgehalten als Erinnerung dass sie alle “Gottes Kinder” sind. Alle sangen das Lied “This little light of mine, I am gonna let it shine…”
Etwas spaeter haben wir neue Gemeindeglieder und Freunde in die Gemeinde aufgenommen. Was fuer ein schoenes Fest!
Anschliessend gab es mehrere deutsche selbstgebackene Kuchen…
Viele Blumen schmueckten den Altar, das Taufbecken und den Kuchentisch! Danke an die Tauffamilie und an alle die diese schoene Feier vorbereitet haben und den Tag unvergesslich machten!

Story of Saint Martin
As a young man, Martin was a soldier in the Roman army. On a very cold day he saw a scantily clad beggar. Martin took off his military cloak and cut it in half with his sword to share with the man. That night, he dreamed of Jesus wearing the half-cloak he had given away. Jesus said to the angels: “Martin, who is still but a catechumen, clothed me with this robe.” When Martin awoke, he knew he had to change his life and leave the army. Confirmed in his piety, he got baptized and later in life was acclaimed as the Bishop of Tours.
