The Board of Deacons met with Jesley Souvenance, Jamie and Ingrid Todd tonight to share their testimonies and talk about the upcoming service of believer's baptism. All three were approved for baptism and church membership.
Several years ago we established a process for meeting candidates for baptism and/or church membership. The Board Deacons would take the opportunity to introduce themselves and share a bit of their story. They also encourage the candidates to do the same if they so desired. It has become a very meaningful time for all involved. Tonight Jamie and Ingrid shared how the death of Jamie's sister started them on a journey of discovery as they began reading the Gospels. A miracle followed as Ingrid found out that she was pregnant and carrying a baby that doctors told them they would never have. The story brought tears to our eyes as we marveled at what God can do.
On August 29th we will glorify God with a very special service as we rejoice with the Todds as they bring their son, Gormon, forward in a service of family dedication. After the ceremony Pastor Lord will deliver a message titled, "Who is on Jesus' Guest List?" The service will then be suspended and moved to Billings Lake at Camp Wightman where Jamie, Ingrid and Jesley Souvenance will be baptized. There will be hymns and prayers as we give thanks to God for new life and bright beginnings.
Come and join us at 9:30 a.m. and renew your own baptismal vows.
