  We receive this child as new person in Christ. We offer our understanding and support as he explores life. We enfold him in our love, seeking together to grow in wisdom and stature and in favor with God and all people. We join with Michael and Lauren in telling the Gospel in our midst, so that their child and all children may live with us for Christ, showing forth his love for all people.
