Join Moon Palace Books and Meta Herrick Carlson on Monday, June 15th at 6:00pm at Moon Palace Books to celebrate her book, We Remember Your Baptism. The celebration will include watercoloring done by local artist Meg Erke of The Toolbox Collective, a DIY bath bomb station, a reading from We Remember Your Baptism, and a signing by the author Meta Herrick Carlson. **This is an in-person event, and masks are required in the store. We offer free masks at the front door, but deeply appreciate you bringing your own!** "You may not remember your baptism, so we tell you the story again and again."
With lyrical text, this picture book lovingly describes the collective memory that a family and church community carry about a child's baptism and what it means to be washed and held in the current of God's love.
We remember the beginning, when the breath of God moved over the waters of the deep. We remember your baptism too--when God's word was spoken and water was poured to welcome you as a beloved child of God! Harkening back to biblical stories of how water refreshed communities and made people whole, and pondering how water reminds us of God's forever love, this picture book captures the depth and heart of the sacrament of baptism.
A beautiful read-aloud for baptism celebrations, anniversaries, confirmation, and any time a family or church community wants to retell the story of a child's baptism. We Remember Your Baptism includes a presentation page, a pastoral message from the author, and a place to record baptism memories. Meta Herrick Carlson is a pastor, a poet, and the author of Ordinary Blessings and Ordinary Blessings for Parents. Her work is rooted in a love for meaningful ritual, accessible language, healthy communities, and the gospel still expanding. Her words are inspired by God's delight in our real and ordinary lives. She laughs at her own jokes and packs extra snacks just in case. Meta and her family live in Minneapolis, Minnesota, on Dakota land.
