By water and the word

Monday morning at the WCRC Uniting Council began with Bible Study at 8.00 - though late comers to the breakfast bar got a little frustrated at the long queue at 7.45 "wer zu spät kommt dem bestrafft das Leben" or in this case latecomers won't get their ham and eggs!

Bible study was followed by worship focusing on a renewal of baptismal vows with a gurgling well and jars set up in Calvin's lovely round college chapel. The Spring of living water of living water was the theme. the picture shows Rev. Olav Fykse Tveit, WCC general secretary preaching a short sermon during the service.
Here are some of the tweets of his sermon:

Sisters and brothers in Christ the promises of God's grace are signed and sealed in our baptism In baptism God promises by grace alone
We sing Come thou fount of every blessing and learn American sign language for "Take oh take me as I am". Baptism is always the action of God by water and the word, by water and the spirit
We need the common baptismal confession to God. We need to confess the same faith.
We need not only the waters of baptism to wash away our sins we need it to nurture life .
