Please consider supporting our Bread of Life Ministry by providing personal care items, infant items, cleaning products,
and non-perishable food items for Denton County’s Friends of the Family. ADDITIONALLY, our friends at The Shepherd’s Hand Pantry, an important distribution point for Bread of Life, providing approximately 1300 meals monthly, are in need of sealable food baggies, primarily quart and gallon size. Please consider picking up an extra box or two the next time you go shopping. Place your donations in the Bread of Life drop box in the Narthex. Thank you for your help and continued support of our friends in need. Together we can help “Feed the Hungry”!

THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD January 12-13, 2019
Prayer to Saint Michael the Archangel
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
Why do we baptize infants when the Bible says "repent and be baptized"? How can an infant repent?
When you take a trip, you do not wait until you run out of gas before you fill the tank-at least not on purpose! You fill your tank and pack your bags as you anticipate a trouble-free journey. We can make a similar case for the baptism of children as they begin their spiritual journey. In the early church, only adults were baptized when they professed faith in Jesus as the Messiah. As the church grew, children were baptized and raised in faith. Baptism was the first sacrament of initiation, followed by confirmation and holy Communion.
The Bible does not limit baptism to adults. Several passages point to infant baptism. Jesus said "Let the children come to me and do not hinder them," while Paul would baptize people "and their household." He did not limit baptism to adults. None of the early Church Fathers wrote that the practice was wrong or that a formal act of repentance was a necessary step. If anything, our whole life is an act of repentance, a continual struggle to turn from sin and be faithful to the Gospel. We believe that baptism is more than a symbolic act of faith. It forgives original sin as well as personal sin, and brings us into the church, where we begin our journey of faith. © 2011 Liturgical Publications Inc
