"Baptizing them..."

Let's praise God! More than twice as many people were baptized this year than last year at our church. On Sunday, six more people were baptized.

Before I perform a baptism, I always bring the "baptizees" together to explain to them what they can expect when they come into the water.
The best part of our short visit together is when I ask them two questions:
  1. What has brought you to this point in your life?
  2. What does being baptized today mean to you?
God is doing powerful things in our church. Hearing these people talk about the ways God is moving in their lives and drawing them closer to Him is inspiring to say the least.

Their stories are God's stories.
