Palm Sunday Baptism

It was a blessing for our new little church to be able to baptize three new believers this past Sunday. Several months ago I preached on the ordinances of the church and these three came to me in the following weeks expressing a desire to follow our Lord's command to be baptized. Hector, Nancy (pictured) and Brett all gave tremendous testimonies of their faith and were baptized before our smiling and encouraging group of 52 on Sunday! That morning, I preached Romans 6:1-14 which fit in well with the baptism as well as my ongoing series in pursuing holiness. The day was highlighted when Hector, returning from drying off after his baptism, announced that he and Nancy were getting married which resulted in a spontaneous round of applause, cheering and congratulations.

Breaking Bread

This past Sunday we celebrated the Lord's Supper and enjoyed a meal together after the service. Our college students will be leaving for Spring Break next weekend and will be out of our services for a couple Sundays so we said good bye over a great lasagna meal! We are planning our first Baptism service on Palm Sunday and we are looking forward to four of our folks committing their lives to the Lord. We continue to have new visitors each week and the Lord is blessing us with spiritual growth!

AN RNBC Makeover

It was not what you see on the television...I think it was much better. Eight men came down on Saturday to do a whole bunch of work in a short amount of time. Two doors had to be framed & installed, some electrical work, drywall installed, two rooms painted and numerous other tasks. We thank the Lord for the makeover these volunteers did in just about 9 hours. What a great difference the remodeling made. Now, with the new door we have ready access to our new room which will double as an office during the week and a Sunday School room or nursery as the case may be on Sundays. It was also good to have a few of our college students back from Christmas break! The Lord has provided so much and accomplished the unimagined by the willing hands of His people!
