BAPTISM SERVICE
MAY 16TH

 Have you been baptized?  We believe water baptism is very important decision in a Christian Life.  It is a public confession of your faith in Jesus Christ.  (Matt 5:16 - 10:32).  It is an act of obedience before the Lord, (March 16:16).  It represents dying to self and living a life whole heartedly for God, (Rom 6:3-7).  It is often a preliminary step to the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, (Acts 2:38).  If you have not been baptized please prayerfully consider being part of our May 16 Baptism Service.  If you are interested or would like to talk more about baptism, call Pastor Joe at 932-0186.
