NORTH BRANCH, NY — It will be a banner day for Grace Evangelical Lutheran Church on Sunday, January 11, with six children received by Christian baptism and three adults affirming their baptism. Rev. Dr. Norm David, one of the congregation’s pastors, will welcome them into the congregation at the 11 a.m. service.
“This is the day when Christians throughout the world celebrate the Baptism of Jesus of Nazareth, as recorded in the Christian Gospels,” said Rev. David. “We are pleased to receive into membership in Grace these persons who reside in North Branch and Roscoe.” The public is invited to attend the service and a luncheon for the newly baptized that will follow the service.
There will be another family, with three children, baptized in February, so the church plans to open a Sunday school and adult Bible study on Sunday mornings from 9:30 to 10:45 a.m. The church building is located at 999 County Rd. 95, just north of the intersection with the North Branch–Callicoon Center Road.
