Shall we gather at the river?

On August 12th, our church held its annual Baptisms at the Creek. Throughout the year, when believers want to be baptized, they can choose to be baptized in the baptistry at church, or they can wait until these special Sunday and be baptized in Drakes Creek. Our good friend, Jordan, was being baptized this afternoon, so we were excited about the event, the fellowship and the potluck that followed.


Heath and the boys decided to check out the water before it all started. Jordan was down there, too, saying hi. Mr. Jim, our music director, came over to shake Heath's hand, too.


Not sure what they were talking about here. It could be something about the boys, the temperature of the water, the latest pictures they've captured on their trail cameras, or it could have been something about the awesomeness of our Lord and Savior. These two, Heath and Jordan, have a lot in common. We've surely been blessed by his and his wife, Brooke's, friendship.


Pastor Steve spoke about the importance of baptism and the body of Christ, and then invited Jordan into the water with him.


Heath and I are so thankful for our church and the faithfulness of our church family and the passion that Pastor Steve has to teach the Word. It is all so truly amazing.
