What if God is inviting us to kingdom lives, encountering and walking in God\u2019s loving and active presence in all things? The sacraments are an invitation to do just that. In these holy practices, the kingdom of heaven breaks into our world in a tangible way. God is profoundly present in the most ordinary elements of water, bread, and juice. Baptism and communion are more than mere symbols. They are a visible sign of God\u2019s active presence in all things. They are a mysterious place where we encounter God\u2019s grace. And they invite us into an intimate relationship as they embody God\u2019s sacred, loyal love to creation and our commitment to find ourselves in God\u2019s salvation story. In this series, we will explore a sacramental way of life and walk intentionally through the waters of baptism and sit at the banquet feast of God\u2019s holy communion table. This week, we explored our doctrine of baptism. We shared how we as a community view this sacrament and then practiced in our very first baptism service!  If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the Core Team.
