Baptismal Service

Today we had a Potluck and Baptismal service at church. After Adam preached an outstanding message on James 2, we headed downstairs to the potluck lunch...



Because our church doesn't have a baptistry, we used a church member's pool to do the baptisms. Here is Adam preparing to get into the pool. It was his first baptism and he had 7 people to baptize! I think he was a bit nervous! However, he did a fine job and the Lord enabled. We were also worried that the water would be freezing because the weather has been in the 60's the last few days. Thankfully, the water wasn't too bad and the sun shined down on us to help out a bit. :)

Praise the Lord for a beautiful day and a wonderful service!

  2. Katie,
    Thanks so much for posting the pictures. I almost cried when I saw "Kel Jel" and Cam in the water. Means a lot. Praying all is well!
