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.

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.
