A PUBLICATION OF COLONIAL HEIGHTS PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

This Sunday, the Sunday following Epiphany and

the end of Christmas, is always The Baptism of the

Lord Sunday. It is an opportunity for us to

remember and ponder once again our own

baptism.

The study catechism, approved for use in 1998 at

the 210th General Assembly, says this:

Question 71: What is

baptism?

Answer: Baptism is the sign

and seal through which we are

joined to Christ.

Question 72: What does it mean to be baptized?

Answer: My baptism means that I am joined to

Jesus Christ forever. I am baptized into his death

and resurrection, along with all who have received

him by faith. As I am baptized with water, he

baptizes me with his Spirit, washing away all my

sins and freeing me from their control. My baptism

is a sign that one day I will rise with him in glory,

and may walk with him even now in newness of life.

The Baptism

of the Lord

Sunday

MARTHA CIRCLE will gather on Tuesday, January 9, at 10:30

am, in the parlor. Join us for prayer, Bible Study and

fellowship.

GARAGE SALE: Coming March 23-24. Start packing up your

garage sale items for this big event. The garage sale has

become a huge fundraiser for our church and we hope that

this year will be our biggest sale yet. Please let Karen Dale

(kdale@charter.net) know if you can help work any/all of the

week of March 19-23. It takes many hands to get everything

sorted and priced. You may drop off your items at the

church starting MARCH 19. If you cannot wait until March

19 you may contact Karen Dale 239-4522 or email at

kdale@mrshc.org.

CALENDARS: 2018 calendars are available in the

kitchenette off of the narthex.

NEW UPPER ROOM and THESE DAYS DEVOTIONAL

BOOKLETS are available in the narthex.

ONGOING MINISTRIES: We regularly collect food pantry

items for Waverly Road Food Bank and individually wrapped

snack items for the Holston Medical Hospitality Cart.

Collection baskets are in the narthex.
