Dear Church Family
What a wonderful Baptism Service we had on Sunday! Two young men giving testimonies of their journey to the waters of baptism, making a public confession of their faith in Christ, of dying to the old, and rising into new life and new beginnings in Him. Our worship was uplifting and joyful. Our teaching of God’s word pointed us to who Jesus is.
There was a real sense of the unity we have and share in Jesus. A time of celebration, made even more special by the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit. Baptisms always remind me that God’s plan is that His people, whether newly baptised or an old stager like me, make our spiritual journey together; that we teach, learn, experience, grow, encourage, and honour Him and each other in loving community. A better way, that’s different, distinctive, and that points to Christ too.
Have a great weekend and be encouraged by what we witnessed on Sunday!
Here are a few things for you to make a note of:
