세례는 장로교인들이 행하는 두 가지 성례전 중 하나입니다. 성만찬이 다른 하나입니다. 세례의 행위는 믿을 수 없을 정도로 단순합니다. 그러나 소량의 물에는 신비하고 의미 있는 깊은 우물이 있습니다. 세례를 받을 때 우리는 그리스도의 제자로서 새로운 삶의 방식으로 부름을 받으며 기쁜 소식의 복음을 온 세상에 전합니다. 
I still remember the first words from the first church leader I met as I first arrived in Manila: “You are welcome here, but you are not needed here.” Those words, spoken with wisdom and love almost two decades ago, would go on to shape the course of my time as a Young Adult Volunteer (YAV) in the Philippines.

And it continues to guide our current vision for the program as volunteers serve around the world and witness the holy ways the Spirit is leading them.

I had always enjoyed my visits to this church, knowing that I would hear outstanding music and an excellent sermon by their senior pastor, the Rev. Dr. Jeffrey Sumner. But I also heard another important message that day. Dr. Sumner spoke of the need for parishioners to attend to their physical health as well as their spiritual well-being. And on this particular Sunday, there would be an opportunity to do this by taking advantage of a free screening for skin cancer that a local dermatologist would be providing immediately after the worship service. 
Bishop Mary Ann Swenson has a unique position in observing and advocating for women’s rights or, as she would quickly clarify, “the fair treatment of human beings” of any gender.
