Amidst all the candles being lit, all the tombs being cleaned, all the flowers being offered, all the biko's (gelatinous rice cake) and ginataan's (I don't know what this is in Filipino) being eaten, all the kids and not so kids dressed in costumes, in short, amidst this Halloween, November one, All Saints-Souls Day, we at PLMCI is promoting life through water baptism! Yes, the world may "celebrate" or "commemorate" the death of loved ones and certain people, but we celebrate the death of sin and the resurrection of a new life as received by our beloveds as they proclaim, by faith, that they are officially followers of Christ and members of PLMCI.
