This three–session
Bible study expands on the theme
of the 2008 Women
of the ELCA Triennial Gathering, "Come to the
Waters." The Rev. Karen Bockelman, assistant to the
bishop in the Northeastern Minnesota Synod of the
ELCA, will guide readers through the rich images and
meanings of baptism and how that sacrament shapes
our lives and vocations. "Come to the Waters" is an
invitation to "walk wet"— to remember, affirm, and
celebrate baptism throughout life. These sessions
will look at the waters of baptism through the
lenses of Scripture, Lutheran tradition, personal
experience, and the lenses of Scripture, Lutheran
tradition, personal experience, and the call to act
boldly in and for justice.
Session 1: Water, Water Everywhere
Session 2: It's a Matter of Death and Life
Session 3: Living Water, Walking Wet
The author, Rev. Karen Bockelman will lead the
