 This three–session Bible study expands on the theme of the 2008 Women of the ELCA Triennial Gathering, "Come to the Waters." The Rev. Karen Bockelman, retired assistant to the bishop in the Northeastern Minnesota Synod of the ELCA, guides readers through the rich images and meanings of baptism and how that sacrament shapes our lives and vocations. "Come to the Waters" is an invitation to "walk wet"— to remember, affirm, and celebrate baptism throughout life. These sessions examine the waters of baptism through the lenses of Scripture, Lutheran tradition, personal experience, and the call to act boldly in and for justice. |
