GOING UNDER FOR THE LORD!!




As you can see, a great time Sunday morning.  We held our worship service in the park - "Praise in the Park".  We combined all 3 of our services into one and had a great day of praise and worship as one church body.  It was wonderful (although it did get a little toasty towards the end).  Good thing we started at 9:00.

It just so happened that there was a tank filled with water so why not have a baptism?  So baptize we did!  I had the privilege of baptizing Samuel Keith Westfall into the faith.  So awesome!  When asked why he wanted to be baptized, he said because that's what Jesus did.  And then he said he wanted people to know he loved Jesus.  So in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Sam was baptized.  He came up out of the water just a grinnin'.  Gotta love it.  Everybody clapped and cheered, just the way the family of God should respond.

Hope some of you were able to be there.  It was a marvelous day.  If not, I just wanted to share a few of the "God moments" that took place this past weekend.  Congrats Sam!!
