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.
