Today was absolutely perfect. We got to celebrate countless numbers of lives changed by Christ through the expression of baptism. Even though we were prepared with rain in the forecast, we awoke to a perfect cool and sunny day with highs in the low 70s. I got to personally hear the stories of individuals who have been rescued from abuse, alcohol, insecurities, Buddhism… all now in love with Jesus. Awesome stuff.

After the baptisms, we celebrated with a cookout (five thousand pieces of meat was the number I heard), bounce houses, snow cones, volleyball, etc. I’ve always believed the early church celebrated baptism as a big deal. Today was a celebration like it ought to be when we see lives changed.
