Palo Baptism
What do 400 pieces of chicken, four watermelon, nine tables full of food, 350 people, the sun setting over Pleasant Creek Lake and 41 baptisms add up to? One incredible evening! You can click on the picture above to see a slideshow of the picnic and baptism.
Baptisms are a time to celebrate the transforming power of God at work in the lives of people. It reminds us that New Covenant is a family of growing disciples. And that boys and girls, teens and adults alike all need Jesus.
Many of those who were baptized this evening talked about the importance of community and the support and encouragement of their small group. It was awesome watching small group leaders, dads, and grandfathers assist with the baptisms. It all added up to one incredible evening. It doesn't get any better than this!
