Baptism Morning

August 5, 2009 at 9:23 am (Uncategorized)

This morning we are going down to the waterfront and a group of students will be going public with their faith and getting baptized.  The life we live by faith is full of many small steps.  I’m really proud of the girls who are getting baptized today.  They each have a heart to follow Jesus with their whole life.  Before we go down, we will be worshipping together, having a special presentation by Patrick and Lance’s cabin and then I will be sharing about how David was a man after God’s own heart.  He is the only person in the Bible who is called by that designation.  As these girls take this step of obedience to the way of Jesus, they are showing that they have a heart that is learning to follow in every way.

Here are the girls who are getting baptized:  Calli L, Chloe F, Tabitha C, Avery L, Mikaela B, Courtney H, Ellie J, Elora P, Alyssa N, Madi C and Kate W.

Every time we have a baptism I love how the testimony of life-change and commitment comes to the forefront of the whole camp.  Whether many or few, baptism is a time to remember about commitments made long ago that still matter today.  Pray for us as we practice this sacred activity today at 11am.
