Baptisms

Yesterday we had a really unique experience in our worship services. A month and a half ago Pastor Nelson preached a sermon on baptism and how important it is for those who claim to follow Christ and he asked people to respond to some questions about their own baptism. From that sermon we had about twenty people who took the step of getting baptized yesterday. Since we have each person give their testimony it took all of both services to baptize everyone.

It really was an amazing experience. Sitting there listening to all these people talk about how God has worked in their lives, seeing them cry, seeing their joy as they came out of the water, it was great.

My favorite quote of the day was a woman who began sharing by saying, "I don't usually say things are awesome because that word's so overused, but this is awesome!"

Praise God for a wonderfully encouraging and rich Sunday morning.
