Full Day but a Great Day

I truly don’t know of a more exciting time in the life of a church as when there is a baptism. We had today at Riverbend! We had 3 people come to express a desire for baptism. Each of the three were in different stages in life, but all babes spiritually.

When a man sees the err of his ways and gives his life to Christ is beautiful. Over the past few weeks I have had the opportunity to share with one such man. A man who has made a mess of his life and marriage by choices that he willingly made. But also one that who a week ago gave his life to Jesus Christ to be his Lord. Seeing the “light” come on, is such a sight and it pumps you up to see it happen more.

Liz Alexander had this same opportunity as she led a fourth grader to Christ. Where one of her questions was, “Are you going to hold me under a long time?.” Well I didn’t keep her down long and all went well.

Today was also a great day in that we presented the church family with the names of men we will vote on in the coming weeks to serve on Riverbend’s Leadership Team. I can’t wait to see these men serve and to serve along side them in the coming days.
