Into the water

Paul Baptism2 Paul Stankiewicz, who was featured on the cover of the August 2013 Mission News, was recently baptized in the Spokane River at Harry Altmeyer Park, just across the parking lot from the UGM Men's Shelter. Here's what Paul wrote about that experience:

I came to the Mission for spiritual renewal, and I received a strong outpouring of the grace of God, as well as an unambiguous outpouring of God's love from those who work and volunteer at the Mission.baptism-thumb [Randy asked us, "What do you want to bring down and bring up from the water?"] I said, "I want to bring down into the water a lukewarm love and bring up from the water a strong love for the Body of Christ." 

When one member rejoices, all rejoice because we all share one baptism, one spirit, one faith and one God and Father of us all. (I Corinthians 12:26)

And, indeed, we are rejoicing with you, Paul!
