What a great evening we had together last Friday for our annual splash bash. Great food, great fun, and great fellowship. But the greatest "happening" of the evening was the opportunity to baptize Christ Antonelli into God's grace and love and family. As you know, sometimes the best plans are those that are "unplanned". I didn't realize Chris was going to be at the pool and when I saw him there the light bulb flashed. He recently spoke to me about being baptized and joining the church but the dates did not jive until Friday evening. I called Chris to the side of the pool and he grinned and said, " I bet I know what you're going to ask me". Sure enough, it was about him being baptized in the presence of the the church family. As you can see, the rest is history or should I say "His story".
Congratulations to Chris!! And thanks to all who witnessed this great evening and received and accepted Chris into the family of God. Doesn't get any better than this does it?

Wow! Maybe it was the properties in the chlorine that made Chris become Christ in the baptism!!!!!!!
Wow! What a spelling blunder. Maybe there's more to this baptism thing than we think. For sure in baptism we are saying we are desiring to more "Christlike". (Not Chrislike).
The theology of chlorine is what????
The theology of chlorine is this: Just as chlorine will remove even the toughest of stains and leave a garment white as snow, Jesus can remove even the worst sins from our lives and leave us pure and holy, if we only ask!!
