Living the Baptismal
Covenant
in the Ministry of Everyday Life

  In the Baptismal Covenant we vow to continue the apostles' teaching, to serve Christ in all persons, and to strive for justice and peace among all people. This one-day workshop explores these and other ministries through which we can serve Christ at home, at work, at play, and in the larger community. Stories, prayer, and discussion lead participants to greater appreciation of their role in the life of the church.
  Also available as an adult forum presentation.
