Yesterday was Barbecue and Baptism. We also added baby dedication into the mix. I love water baptism and baby dedication because both of them are a celebration of commitment. Water baptism celebrates commitment to Christ. Baby dedication celebrates the commitment of building a strong Christ-centered family. So cool, especially in a city where too many people view commitment as a dirty word.
And it was great to combine baptism and baby dedication because it doubled the number of guests. We ran out of seats by the end of worship. Good complications:)
Scheduling our annual picnic on the same day turned out to be a great idea. Alot of guests came down to the park giving us a nice opportunity to connect with them.
The family that plays together stays together:)
Off and running today toward another packed week. Thursday afternoon we head out for our two day team retreat where we'll pray, play and say goodbye to the interns.
Looks like summer has disappeared!
that's great stuff. what an exciting service!!!
