Happy Birthday Abraham and Christian

The work of the cross is God’s offer of life…Baptism is our acceptance. On this special, day Abraham and Christian publicly committed themselves to a new life in Jesus Christ. Romans 6 tells us:

Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death?

We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life. For if we have been united with him in a death like his, we shall certainly be united with him in a resurrection like his.

We were joined by our neighbors, new friends, fellow congregants from the Word of Life Church that worships here on Sundays, and a few of our friends from our Celebrate Recovery program to share in rejoicing in the completion of the biggest phase of our remodeling project, which included air conditioning, new pews, double pane windows in the worship center, carpeting, tiled bathrooms, new sinks and lots of fresh paint. heaven rejoiced along with us during Nina and Jackson's baptism and new members Josie and Paul who joined us by profession of faith. more pictures at our photo album.
