Greetings Saints,
If you will remember, I said on my first Sunday here that I wanted us to be a “wet church.” Also, I asked you to give 4 hours a week to Christ and the church in the following ways: 1 hour to prayer, 1 hour to worship, 1 hour to service, and 1 hour to an accountability group. Somebody must be praying, because we have 2 baptisms and professions of faith, and one person rededicating her life to Christ and remembering her baptism today in the 9:45am worship service. Praise the Lord! Even if you do not normally attend this service, I encourage you to come and support these candidates at this service, and also attend the service where you normally worship. Oh yeah – and invite someone who is not in church regularly to come with you. “Splash! Yours in Christ, Steve
