Getting Sidetracked With Pastor Clemmer
This weekly 5-7 minute video will give me a chance to cover topics that come to mind during the week and are timely, relevant, and hopefully helpful. These would typically be topics that I didn't have enough time to discuss from the sermon or in Bible classes on Sunday because I did not want to get sidetracked. So here’s a whole series of just the sidetracks! We’ll post the link to the video each week here in the Week at a Glance and on the church’s website. You can view the videos here.

Biblical Overview of Baptism
“God's own child, I gladly say it: I am baptized into Christ!” This is a favorite hymn of so many, and rightfully so. There is such joy in knowing that you are baptized into Christ. But is this just a Lutheran oddity or is it biblical truth? Come to the new Sunday morning bible class and learn the biblical roots of baptism: From Old Testament roots of baptism to the tremendous baptismal theology in the New Testament. Baptismal passages are not isolated little puddles in Scripture, but rather baptism is a river running through the Bible. Pastor Schumacher will teach this biblical overview of baptism on Sunday mornings beginning on October 11th.
