Baptism and Communion

Today at NewPointe two people were baptized. It was a great service! Both testimonies from Miriam Hershberger and Paula Beans were very powerful and real. John Bunn’s message about baptism was very clear and inspiring. I think it cleared up a lot of questions that people have about baptism. Way to go John! I recommend buying the CD if you missed it or to have on hand if someone questions you about baptism. The music was great and inspiring as well, good job to Danny and the team.

On Wednesday night Pastor Dwight talked about communion, which also answered a lot of questions people have. This was a great week of discovery and experiencing God. I felt the presence of God at these two services. It was really a week of remembrance. Remembering what Jesus Christ did for us and how much He loves us. Remembering his sacrifice and suffering through communion and then identifying ourselves publicly with Him through baptism.

I want to encourage everyone to talk about the Lord’s supper/communion and baptism with your friends. Now that you have heard what the Bible says about them you can speak about it with confidence.

Our next baptism is scheduled for July 8th. My prayer is that we will have so many people that want to be baptized that we have to do it every weekend in July. Wouldn’t that be awesome? God is working in the hearts of His people and expanding His kingdom.

We serve communion at every First Wednesday service. Come and experience a time of worship and remembrance and celebration. If anyone has questions about either baptism or communion please contact me, I would love to talk with you about these two symbols of the Christian faith.
