Holy Baptism (聖洗禮)

#2013-0811

Bishop David Lai celebrated and preached at St. James' today, firstly at the English service starting at nine-thirty and then at the Chinese service starting at eleven.

After taking part in the English service, Jean and I went to the Chinese service immediately, because we had been invited to be the "sponsors" (or known as godfather and godmother) of Jillian Lin (林子廉) and her sister Youlin Shi (施又琳) -- both of them, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Lai, were baptized today during the Chinese service. I felt really honored to be the two girls' sponsors (or godfather) because Jillian and her family usually came to the English service as I did.

What I'd like to say to them again is this: "Congratulations, Jillian! Congratulations, Youlin! Congratulations on your becoming members of the Family of Love, the head of which is our Lord Jesus Christ, who has loved you and me (as well as many others) even before we got to know and love him! May God the Father, God the son, and God the Holy Spirit be with all of us for ever and ever! Amen."
