Teaching pastor Jim Miller's life lesson at 10 a.m. Sunday at Vineyard Church, 4140 FM 1878, will be "It's Like a Wedding Ring" and will explore the importance of baptism in the Christian faith as the church looks ahead to its upcoming outdoor baptismal service. The lesson will attempt to answer such perplexing questions as: Why is there so much confusion about the rite of baptism? Is baptism required of all Christians? Is it a sin not to be baptized? What method of baptism does God accept? What formula are we supposed to use? Are there other baptisms in the Bible? What is the "one baptism" the apostle spoke of?
Preparations are being made to retool children's ministry at the Vineyard and to launch a distance learning class of the international Vineyard Bible Institute for those interested in accelerated, in-depth studies in scripture and ministry.
