Here at Trinity, we believe that God has promised and really is doing something to us in Holy Baptism. In Holy Baptism God delivers us from the forces of evil, puts our sinful self to death, gives us new birth, adopts us as children and makes us members of the body of Christ, the church. It is an event in which we believe God really, truly is doing something to us. In Holy Baptism, we are united with the events of God's saving action in the Bible, from creation to the resurrection of Jesus.
But Baptism is not simply a matter of a one-time event. The rite of Holy Baptism invites us into a life-time of living faith... of growing together as the people of God... of learning how it is that the promises of Baptism touch our every day existence and invite us into a life of loving service to God through service to others. In fact, we might say that the DAY of Baptism is just the first step in a lifetime of "walking wet."
