receive $15.00 for babysitting, give $ 1.50 to the church. Let today be the beginning of your lifelong
practice of tithing.
Claim today for what it is, a transforming moment. Your baptisms and confirmations are not a
completion of a journey but a beginning. This is not an arrival but an embarkment.
You are children of God through Christ.
Claim who you are.
You were created by God.
You are loved by God.
Christ our Lord lived for you.
You have been [and will be] baptized.
You are a part of Christs Body.
Claim your place, your part in our Lords Body.
May we all...
Live out the fresh, new, vigorous,
triumphant life of the Spirit.
Amen.
